Without LVM, one can still simply use gparted to copy the data to the new drive and extend the existing partition and fs in a couple clicks. With CLI tools, that's dd/cp + parted + resize2fs. The number of commands is reduced by half or more of what was required with LVM. The benefits with LVM seem to be the snapshot functionality and the (limited) spanning/mirroring raid logic. If you're not taking advantage of these features then I, personally, wouldn't recommend the additional obfuscation and complication that LVM adds. --Blake
