(Wish I had that option for myself) :-) gnome is not confused and it is not a desktop thing. it is file system. i do believe that you should use just one lv for '/home'. it can very well solve all of problems that you are having. and i am still having a problem in seeing why you feel need to store data files in their own partition. main reason of '/home' on it's own partition is to be able to maintain users and data common to more than one system install. > This is part of a plan that would allow me to use different distros for > different needs whithout loosing access to my work files, as long as other systems are lvm capable, having '/home' as it's own lv should be all that you need. > different versions of programs. different versions *should* have back compatibility to read old files. saving and reading by older versions is where you will/may have problems. i do believe that you need to take a break, set back and think about what you are trying to do and reason a strong justification for having 2 lv setups that can actually be done with one lv. - -- tc,hago. g . in a free world without fences, who needs gates. learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Red Hat - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFI9LWt+C4Bj9Rkw/wRAm6JAJ4ptlE0zxzCXmvUKjClrDhIqZzqoACgtoR/ L0ZK9HckuIgAB2oqPDrNkPs= =/md8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
