I have generally myself used / outside LVM and nothing else. I did recently setup one install with only /boot outside LVM and it worked fine. I am in the middle of installing a machine with new disks where I have done this: raid1 / using sda1 25G sdb1 25G raid1 /home using sdc1 25G sdd1 25G raid5 LVM using sda2 475G sdb2 475G sdc2 475G sdd2 475G LVM contains swap and /var since I will be using it mainly for mythtv which stores piles of stuff in /var. I didn't allocate all the LVM space yet so I have 200G free for other stuff if I think of something. -- Len SOrensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
