Fedora Users — Re: Preupgrade??

LVM can be very handy for desktops. If you run out of space on / (or any other mount that uses LVM) you can attach another disk, add it to LVM, and expand the filesystem with resize2fs. Easy and quick.

I have selected my disk partitioning for a long time and  when new wizardry
comes along, I always wonder how much help it's going to be. In most cases,
for a desktop, here, I'd say "none".
