With EVMS, can I make it so, that the "things" where I put filesystems
on (logical volumes in LVM, partitions in old style partitioning) are
NOT consecutive? Because that's the great feature of LVM.
Example:
- place1
- place2
place1 and place2 are directly "beneath" each other (in old style
partition speak: end cylinder of place1 is just 1 before the start
cylinder of place2). Now place1 needs to be made bigger.
What to do?

Ah. So EVMS makes use of LVM and is just some sort of GUI? So I
need to know EVMS and at least the basics of LVM?
