I've been there, done that, and regretted it deeply.
I got rid of LVM the first chance I could.

LVM does not inter-operate with anything else.
Grub does not work under LVM.  Parted does not grok LVM:
you cannot create a hard partition from LVM free space.
Using the rescue CDs is a nightmare under LVM: the LVM
setup is not recognized automatically (you must remember
what it is) and the rescue environment contains no help
or documentation on LVM (such as: the _syntax_ for naming
the pieces!)

LVM probably kills all low-level backup and recovery.
Do not use LVM unless you are 100.000000% certain
that you will never be faced with a hardware disaster.
