Let's take a step back. Why do you believe you need an LVM?

LVM is one of those things which are only needed if there's specific  
requirement, knowledge, and understanding what an LVM is, what it does, and  
how it works.

Especially on a laptop.

Right, and marry the laptop to the hard drive, forever. Any time you want to  
take your laptop somewhere you must lug this hard drive with it. Without it,  
your laptop becomes an unbootable brick. Because it contains the friggin' /  
filesystem.

Because that's how LVM works.

So, again, why do you think you need to use LVM?
