I think how to leverage dmsetup or lvm for the absolute maximum
efficiency on a single disk might be a tad eccentric and overkill
for documentation.  Especially since things get rather system-
specific.

In all honesty, I should have _not_ entertained my most recent
response.  But I just wanted to point out, "well, if we're going
to go there," especially after LVM was discarded (when it offers
so many advantages, with DeviceMapper).

Sure.  Actually, when it comes to virtual memory tuning and storage
layout, I could comment on a lot.  We've run into some details and have
come out with some "best practices" when it comes to LVM, lvm.conf
(and multipath.conf), etc... when it comes to virtual machines too.
