This is true if you let LVM create the underlying partitions. If this is
a problem, there are several ways around this. If you create the
partitions in physical view, you will have full control of the location.
Once you have the partition, you can create the volumes using the existing
partitions.

If you have dfsee, it provides this option, along with others, in the
volume create menu

This can be disconcreting at first. Once you learn to think of drive
letters as names rather than locations on your drive, it should not be a
problem.

Google for

understanding lvm os/2

This will give you links to a number of good articles. Jan's and Felix's
are especially good.
