Nope, not at all. I put /var in Extended, LVM and, if you can believe it, even LDM (yes, Windows "dynamic disk" disk label format ;-). I only avoid putting root (/) in anything but a primary partition for recoverability. Even if I use a separate /boot (I rarely do -- I keep my root do only a few GBs max), I still like it outside of any compound disk label. -- Bryan J.
