That's a guess, no refund if wrong. > The new LVM on sda7 still has the root and swap (2G) setup. I did a preupgrade on another system, and it kept everything the same. The upgrade has LogVol00 as the root and LogVol01 as swap. The clean install has lv_root as root and lv_swap as the swap. Also noticed that upgrade has the swap at the front of the lvm, but clean install has it at the end? I sure the clean install used the ext4 format for the lvm, but the preupgrade seems to still have the ext3 format. Wonder if it is something with ext4?? gparted doesn't show ext3 or ext4 for the partition, but just lvm2. Not sure what might show the ext3 or ext4 of the LVM. Thanks for the reply. I was able to create another partition using the 4.63GB of space, so it didn't seem to be left for something. > -- > Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> > "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from > the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
