ahhhhhh, I get your point now. There is a bad issue IMHO with the way Ubuntu partitions disks by default anyway. While I always custom install to place /boot and /var or /var/log on separate partitions, I understand other reluctance to do that. But! /home should always be on a separate partition in a workstation build, and placing that as LVM by default is just a great CYA move. If there is any part of the system that is likely to grow out of control, its user file space.... i.e. /home. This just comes down to long term ease of use for the end user. Adding another disk, could be added to the /home LVM, and provide an environment that is more advantageous to end users than Windows (who would need to keep track of additional disk drives rather than just see a larger home partition). Given that Hardy is a LTS release, I guess the question is to add it now so that the LTS users don't have to wait 3 years to get it? Or consider the feature untested, and wait for Hardy+1 so that there is time to iron out bugs before its added to the next LTS release? -- Kevin Fries Senior Linux Engineer Computer and Communications Technology, Inc A Division of Japan Communications Inc. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
