Would this > work? No. You can have /, /home, /tmp and swap _either_ as logical partitions in the extended partition _or_ as logical volumes in the LVM but not both at the same time. > Interesting, maybe i am overdoing the space in "/" > I guess I could always make it smaller with LVM Extending partitions or logical volumes is always easier than shrinking them. Shrinking a LVM root volume is especially painful, see: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=154874 -- Markku Kolkka markku.kolkka@xxxxxx
