LVM w/multiple filesystem types

Hi, I was wondering if the Vinum logical volume manager for FreeBSD works when there are other partition types on the drive? I'm sure the different file systems can't be LVM'd, but this is what I want: hda1 + hda2 = UFS2 (FreeBSD + /var)) hda3 = Shared swap (FBSD swap while in FBSD, Linux will re-mkswap each boot) hda4 = UFS2 (shared between FreeBSD and Gentoo Linux) hda5 = ext2
So, can hda1,2,4 be LVM-capable without harming the other two partitions?
