IMHMO, LVM is great for servers or other multi-disk systems because it allows you to add extra space to a partition on-the-fly, even from a different physical disk if needed. I find it hard to imagine, however, why a home user would need such flexibility and I think that using LVM-by-default isn't exactly the best idea. I have, I'll admit, one partition on an LVM. That's only because of a brain fart when I was setting it up (I forgot to turn it off.) and it's not been a big enough deal yet to make me want to back up that small partition, unmount it and repartition it to get rid of the LVM. If, however, I needed or wanted to nuke and re-install, I'd get rid of it in a heartbeat because it's just another un-needed level of complexity I don't have a use for. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
