I would actually *hate* that. I've run LVM two times and the damn thing 
didn't ask me if I was sure what I was doing. Last time I erased my 
entire 200GB full harddrive because LVM don't ask for confirmation on 
inactive logical volumes. I accidently switched vg and lv in my 
commandline. I'm determined never to run LVM anymore :-).
