Package: installation-guide Windows LDM (Logical Disk Manager) and `dynamic disks' are a reality for anyone installing a dual boot machine, especially if Windows Vista or Windows 7 is already on the machine.
The guide may need to be updated to touch on various issues: - choice of boot loader (grub doesn't support LDM yet) - GPT disk labels created by some Windows installs - Should LDM dynamic disks be used as physical volumes (PV) for LVM2? - Can the LDM part of the disk be safely shrunk to create space for a real partition for Linux or LVM2? It would be good to discuss both practical constraints and installation strategies, and provide a working example for the typical scenario of a machine with an existing all-of-disk LDM Windows 7 install.
