Keith, Years ago I used to create a half dozen partitions from the CLI in an afternoon and move things around. It was even fun to do. But no more. LVMs are so cool... you don't have to worry anymore about how big this and that partition should, never worry about running out of space on a partition, because with LVM it's simple to make a volume bigger. No need to move data around. LVM is great, well worth using. If you've got some spare space on a drive, you should give a try. You won't go back to partitions.
