Another view to consider...

In the machine lifecycle

   - initial OS provisioning and installation is one step, and a few 
   minutes in duration
   - the ongoing configuration and maintenance is a subsequent stage, and a 
   few years in duration.

CFEngine is primarily about that second stage, less about the first.  At 
large sites, the first, provisioning step is often handled systematically 
by kickstart or something similar.

Do you regard your LVM/partitioning work as a "provisioned immediately from 
the outset" thing or as a "sometime later in the lifecycle I may want to 
make this mid-course adjustment" thing?

If it is "later in the lifecyle", then config. management (CFEngine) is, 
indeed, a good choice.  But if it is "right from the outset", then perhaps 
consider doing it in your early, provisioning step where you are probably 
already doing other LVM/partitioning operations anyway, and this might be a 
natural extension.
