LVM for linux OS?

Hi,

What do you means to create so OS Linux directories under LVM?
So, I've installed my machine :

Code:

df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3             97943628    524316  92443984   1% /
udev                   4023852       168   4023684   1% /dev
/dev/sda1                93327     61439     27069  70% /boot
/dev/mapper/rootvg-homelv
                       5160576    141436   4756996   3% /home
/dev/mapper/rootvg-optlv
                      15481840    169604  14525804   2% /opt
/dev/mapper/rootvg-srvlv
                      10321208    154348   9642572   2% /srv
/dev/mapper/rootvg-usrlv
                      10321208   3073784   6723136  32% /usr
/dev/mapper/rootvg-varlv
                       5160576    284188   4614244   6% /var

following directorie als primary partition :
/
/boot
swap
and the other like :
/home
/opt
/srv
/usr
/var
with LVM

Could be a problem?

Thanks in advance
