I think it is, running LVM and selecting logical view it looks as if root is /dev/kingston/root. In the physical view root is described as linear mapping 83 extents. > If not, you might want to consider making a new LV (perhaps > shrinking one of your other partitions and reclaiming some of that > 200GB free space) for root. To address my immediate problem of low disk space on root and given that root does appear to be on the lvm, I could do that now? For example, shrink /home and reallocate the freed space to /root? > You could then boot into a LiveCD, rsync from the old root > partition to the new partition and then update bootloader, fstab > etc. Et Voila, you're booting from root on LVM.
