Just to confuse things a bit more, it appears that the OS/2 implementation of AIX's LVM (in the new OS/2 Warp Server beta) starts with partitions, not raw disk. AIX can get away with raw disk because it's reasonable to expect that there won't be any other OSes on the same machine... aye, there's the rub. A raw-disk LVM will force Linux to be the only OS on the system.
