Makes little sense. Oh, it makes a lot of sense. To my usual utilization of a desktop system, at least. > Not disputing the fact that lvm is good or bad, asking for the reasoning to making it the default partitioning method. It makes fixed partitioning go away, making it easy to change partitions on the fly without having to reboot systems and/or use a rescue disc. Any *problem* with it that may make it undesirable to a desktop system? lmf PS: this is not an authoritative answer on the reasons if using lvm by default. I don't know exactly. I believe it has to do with no static partitions and support for ext3 online resizing on the kernel.
