Hi all, to extend the flame ;): it is true that putting several partitions makes it more secure, but will be a headache if you run out of space on one partition. So, why not use LVM? - I've come along a perl-script (one year ago already) which makes it possible to GRAPHICALLY resize your partitons, add new space, etc. I didn't really check this script out neither I played around a long time with LVM. I know in the kernel it was labled "experimental" all the time. What's the current status - or your experience. Reiserfs was called experimental but was there in suse6.4 already or even earlier. I (personally) ALWAYS had good experience (I sticked to the suse-version though - they NEVER gave problems). My 486 rebootet about a 200 times due to a faulty UPS and lot of powerfails and always it was working fine again after that. Some things are just not included into the standart kernel (labled as experimental) cause they need a clean rewriting for example. So again - what's your experience with LVM - and what's your advice. LVM is a great piece of software and you get patched boot-images for RH for example to install it directly - so why (besides that you have to read a little about it :)) not use it?
