assuming your LUN is dedicated to a single partition, no probably not.  LVM
comes in handy when growing partitions/disks. Often we can't just extend the
end of the partition because it will run up against a neighboring one. So in
order to have disjoint growth, we need to use LVM and Physical Volumes and
grow that way.
