Okay, well I can't use a separate machine because we are trying to narrow down the cause of the problem, so I can only change one parameter at a time. So it looks like the dual boot route is the way to go. I currently have two 250gig drives which are mounted under fstab using /dev/mapper or LVM2 I suspect. What is the best way to go about creating a *temporary* partition under LVM2? I've only used system-config-lvm once and that was just to see what it looked like.
