Thanks for the clarification. I didn't use LVM on the device on purpose, as root on LVM requires initrd (which I strongly dislike as yet-another-point-of-failure). As LVM is on the large partition anyway I'll just add the second partition for now, and change the system setup with the next drive migration. Maybe linux even supports root-on-lvm natively until then ;)
