Is it possible to have / (root), /boot and swap partition on LVM device?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Can we have / (root), /boot and swap partition under LVM?
  • Is it possible to have / (root), /boot and swap partition on LVM device?
  • Booting from LVM without a separate /boot but having /boot directly on LVM
  • Can I boot directly from LVM without having /boot on a partition? So have the whole system use LVM? This would help me simplify the workflow to use LVM snapshots and mergeback technology to rollback updates.
