Just curious, why have you stopped using LVM?
Simply for ease of maintenance: some recovery and backup utilities like clonezilla can't work with LVM. And because the same names for volume groups are used for each centos install, so trying to attach a drive or volume to a new system for rescue causes conflicts unless you take steps and use unique names from the start. (Although I hear that newer versions of centos/RH will create unique names for you)
Not all that unique, but a bit better--I think it's VolumeGroup00/lvm_root, VolumeGroup00/lvm_swap, and things like that.
(Keeping both LVs in the same VG by default.)
