I prefer not to use a partition table at all if I'm using the whole disk for LVM. >and separate LVs for /tmp /var /home You definitely want separate LVs for any partition (non-system) users can write to, to avoid running out of space on your / partition. I usually go overboard and have separate partitions for: /boot # If / is on LVM; not LV /usr /usr/local # For OS migrations. /home /opt /srv /var /var/tmp # RAID 0 or other "fast" /var/cache # RAID 0 or other "fast" /tmp # Usually tmpfs; no LV >and leave enough unassigned PE for later enlargement of certain LV? It is much easier to expand a filesystem than to shrink it. This is true even if you aren't using LVM. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
