With LVM it's definitely not.
I find quite the opposite: without LVM, I have to know that the drive I just moved from computer to computer changed from sdb to sdc, and edit fstab and such manually. With LVM, I still get /dev/vg_foo/lv_bar, and don't care what raw device the underlying partition is, how it is connected, etc. (very useful for example when taking an internal drive from one computer and connecting it via an external adapter of some type on another). -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
