Since /usr, /var and /opt are on LVM, I can't see / increasing dramatically in size, and it's only 1/3 full now. The alternative would be to use a separate /boot and mess around with initramfs images to load / from LVM, which is extra hassle and another potential point of failure. > Rare case, I know, but Murphy is still alive :-) No he's not, he died in 1990 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_A._Murphy,_Jr ;-) > Why not put swap on LV also? No major reason, but it means I still have swap available hen booting in single mode without LVM. I can't see that I'd ever be so desperate for disk space that I'd want to reduce swap. If I needed more I could always add an LVM volume to swap. I suppose it would be tidier to put swap on LVM too. -- Neil Bothwick Is it possible to be totally partial?
