I could not disagree more. LVM is essential to solve problems like resizing issues; backup and generally solve all the problems that static partition tables has had since their inception. Generally, "users" shouldn't care about how/where things are stored. They use OpenOffice, mail, browsers and applications. It's not the users job to configure the box and do system administration. The problem here seems to be, that Fedora isn't using a Grub version that supports LVM. Is there any plans on switching to grub2 on install so we can get rid of the /boot partition and help resolve issues like upgrade needing more space temporarily. -- Best Regards Peter Larsen Wise words of the day: netgod: 8:42pm is not late. doogie: its 2:42am in Joeyland -- #Debian
