First question, just for curiosity, what is the software which runs the
partitioning, raid creation, LVM, etc, during an install? Is it something I
know, run with options to look different or only available at install time?
In any case, here's the problem: I have a system I want to use for a dual boot
install. It's partitioned as thus:
sda1 application reserved
sda2 was VISTA
sda3 boot
sda4 extended
sda5 swap
sda6 root
sda7 home
I want to install a new release on sda2, but I can't put the boot in an lv, so I
need a boot and then sda2 can be a pv som I can have my root, home, and
application pieces.
What I tried was to shrink the partition sda7 by 100MB (lots of free room), but
that doesn't seem to free any space of a boot sda8 at the end of the extended.
The current install, FC10, is production 32 bit, and I can't mess that up.
Is there some secret way to tell the installer that shrinking the sda7 makes
room for sda8? I can install on a USB key, but that's not the object, not is
making the whole sda2 ext3 instead of ext4, which will make performance
comparisons meaningless.
Ideas?
