Although it's not always recommended to have / on a LVM, I have successfully used three partitions on my systems: /boot LVM Group swap and then create in the LVM all of the other partitions I want. Then, if needed, it's easy to change the size of any partition if I had the initial size wrong. Stuart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
