While you can do this with separate partitions with file systems on them, the advantage of LVM is that you can resize the volumes and not have to repartition. Root volume running out of space? Grow it and take the space from your Home volume. I’ve also used the fact that LVM allows you to seamlessly transfer data to a new disk, live, when moving to new hardware. Eventually, I hope btrfs makes LVM obsolete. — Jonathan Billings _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
