I avoid LVM because trying to install with it always seems to break things, either making the install fail or breaking later during an upgrade. And I mean on normal-ass distros like Debian and Ubuntu, not anything odd, and not even with "fancy" features like disk encryption involved (I can only imagine the mess that'd introduce).

Then again I avoided Grub for years because I found it fiddlier and more breakage-prone than LILO, so possibly I'm just an idiot and/or jinxed when it comes to new things in Linux.
