Because I had no idea what I was doing. ;-) Actually, I did know what I was doing, but I had no idea what LVM was, so I just did what I'm used to doing in Linux, which is messing with partitions. But LVM looks very, very nice and easy to use.

Cool. I'll definitely look this over. I'll definitely back up the music files and other important stuff before going this route, but I really appreciate the hints. Thanks. Could I convert the other non-boot directories to logical volumes as well? -- Richard S. Crawford http://www.mossroot.com
