I just installed Debian on a new server one week ago.  I made a RAID
volume, an LVM physical volume on top of that, 8 LVM logical volumes in
the physical volume, and set different partitions for /, /boot, /tmp,
/usr, /home, /opt, /srv, and /var.  I was able to do all of that without
editing /etc/fstab by hand.

I can't speak to how it work in Mint.
