I keep /, /boot and /home on separate partitions and am happy with how it works. If / grows too large I will move something (e.g. /var/cache) to a directory on /home (or on a second drive) and point to it. There's no problem in adding a second drive as long as you don't expect to merge it into an existing filesystem below the API level (which is what LVM allows). The downside of LVM is that a failure of one of the drives will leave you completely borked in the LVM case and only partially borked in the non-LVM case. If you're careful about how you distribute your filesystem you can reduce the impact, whereas with LVM you have absolutely no control over where it places files. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
