Right. I think I might have confused the necessity to have an initramfs for LVM and the need to have it for an encrypted root. OTOH, if you put /usr, /home, /var, /tmp and all the others on LVM, you could just leave the root partition unencrypted, as it wouldn't contain anything sensitive. >> And from what I remember, you can't resize a mounted ext3 partition > > You should refresh your memory, then :-) Those times are long over. I have googled a bit but I couldn't find any recent references for that except for a RedHat patch to 2.6.7. Specifically, e2fstools doesn't seem to mention online resizing at all. Could you give me a pointer? >> But I'd love to be proven wrong on all the points above! > > Done (partly) :-) Thanks! > Do it right, then - use EVMS *SCNR* Any specific pros/contras? From the homepage it looks rather complicated (although I haven't spent much time on it yet). I'll look into it more in-depth. Thanks for the reply. -- Remy
