Since you don't know if LVM has a recovery path how can you imply it doesn't?
I've seen plenty of evidence that tools for LVM recovery are lacking. I see postings from people asking about recovery of damaged LVM volumes and not getting any reasonable answers about how to repair.
This might help in future. http://anthonydawson.thelasis.com/LVRecovery/index.htm
Or, complexity of dealing with things like duplicate volume group names when physically moving disk drives. Conventional partitioning works just fine for me, and I'm confident that I can handle just about any situation that crops up. I don't need an additional layer of complexity.
Which is why I do not use default names when creating volgroups and logvols.
