I didn't have a *current* backup to restore from (what I had was 5-6 months old), but since I was replacing a disk, I took the opportunity to punt LVM and repartition. I think I lost 1 partition with a collection of MPEGs that wasn't backed up (even though there were bits and pieces of it on the remaining disk in a partial LV). > Whatever the case may be, it seems to me LVM shouldn't be thrown at > newbies for the desktop.

I am willing to live with more than most users, certainly more than most newbies.
