How can I proceed ? Can I install Fedora files on this logical volume, and boot to it via current grub installed (on RAID-1 and which serves current Debian) ? Note: also the lettering for this (third) drive dedicated to LVM is different between Debian and Fedora: sdb for Debian, sdc for Fedora. Thanks for attention.
