Apparently Fedora thinks everyone should have one as it is their default install method. I would much rather keep it simple like before with an ext3 filesystem instead of this lvm stuff. -- ~Ohmster | ohmster59 /a/t/ gmail dot com Put "messageforohmster" in message body (That is Message Body, not Subject!) to pass my spam filter.

I believe that the LVM usage in RedHat has it's root in that there was some users who got into trouble when their / got too small and got filled up to fast, now they can take space from /home and move it to / without loosing date (of course resize a file system can lead to data loss). Myself I use normal file systems on most of my slices, while one storage slices I use LVM, that way I can expand it when needed (adding a new hard drive reduces the problem of moving all files) and on the VM's I have, thats so I can make snapshots and backups and of course have a mirror of the system, just in case. -- //Aho

My bad, I meant regular disk partitions instead of a movible LVM system.
