I wouldn't have set up the logical volume as the entire volume group,
myself. Logical volume management is a really nice way of letting you
shuffle around data and partitions to your hearts content, rather than
being limited to whatever fdisk limits you to. Moreover, you can resize
volumes (although only increasing them is safe if you have a filesystem
on there already; recommendation: use reiser) on the fly. Additionally,
you can add additional hard drives and volumes can be split across
hardware transparently.
