# mount | grep mapper
/dev/mapper/x61-grml2hd on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/mapper/grml-crypt_home on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime)

I've all the partitions on LVM. :)

No significant difference. I use LVM wherever I can, it's just worth
its use.

No [not yet]. But just mv /home to /home.old, create /home and copy
data as needed and finally adjust /etc/fstab. ;)
