Thinking aloud a bit more... what disadvantage would there be to
ditching LVM and using symlinks instead? That is, one normal partition
with both files and symlinks to files in other partitions?

I've been using LVM for more than a year and I find it a nice way to
manage a large collection of large files. It just seems so
*vulnerable*, at least the way I have been using it.
