Re: Understanding the two-year release cycle as a desktop user (and a Debian newcomer)

Further to lvm snapshots, I have read about 10 articles explaining the
concept of LVM and how to set them up. All of them talk about using
/dev/sdb, c, d or more for LVM. None uses /dev/sda

I am running a laptop and raspberry pi's, all with only 1 prime 'disk' and
USB attached disks/sticks.

Is LVM viable?  I can see the benefit of re-sizing on the fly. I use
multi-boot. I can see the possibility of /dev/sda1 and LVM using the rest.
But is it viable,  please?
