	Bingo! Just the info I needed. Thanks very much. "Brevity is the soul 
of wit" and all that.

	Let me ask for a little clarification, please, Aram. Have you migrated 
such a machine from F11 to F12 (or even F13)? If so, did you wipe the 
physical volume and re-partition, or did you re-use the old partition 
scheme?
	Due to the relative slowness of my (networked) backup device and the 
amount of data, doing a full restore of the system in question took many 
hours when I re-did the RAID going from F10 to F11, far more than 
migrating my desktop, w/ 3 times as much data and hardware RAID (where I 
simply re-used the existing partitions). By now I have nearly a year 
more local stuff to bring forward.

	Bummer.

	Thanks again.
