Putting your root file system on a LV is not really a Good Thing(tm) to do. From what I have heard, it is REALLY hard to recover your data if you have any issue with one of the LV member disks.
Is there a particular directory that you wish to grow at some future date (/home, /usr, /tmp)? If so, it would be in your best interest to make just that partition a Logical Volume and make your / and /boot standard ext3 partitions. If this box is a personal workstation and/or you don't really care about having to rebuild the box if there's a problem, then a root LVM would be OK, but it is a BEAR to fix when something goes wrong.

I'm in the RH73 install process for setting up the disks (disk druid). Can I use LVM from this point? I can't figure out how to make all the drives use their full amount of space as mount point /. (minus some for swap on one of them) How do I do it? I've tried to look at the LVM howto, but the one I was looking at doesn't show you how to do it from the install. Thanks.
