Well, to me, it is almost as if I have larger space... I mean, sometimes I'd
end up with 1.5GB on one partition, and 2GB on the other, but when I want to
put something of size, say >2GB, I'd have no where to store it, and also, I
might not be able to move stuff from either partition... So even though I'd
HAEV 3.5GB free, I can use only upto 2GB of it... but when it's a single LV,
the whole 3.5GB will be ready
