Greetings, I have looked a little more into the system I just installed, so now I am posting the same issue I mentioned in that other thread, but hopefully in a clearer form. I had this 350 GByte SATA disk which had Fedora 9 on it, on several separate partitions filling the whole disk, called /dev/sdaN and mounted on: / /boot /home /mydata swap Monday I installed Fedora 12 x86_64 on that disk, accepting all the defaults. Installation went OK, but I ended up with a disk that (see command outputs below) has logical volumes containing swap, /boot on /dev/sda1, / on /dev/sda2, for a total space, if I understand correctly, of only 250 GB. What happened and why? Where are those missing ~100 GBytes, and how do I recover them without reinstalling from scratch?
