One computer with an Intel BIOS RAID array has maintained its partitioning and most of its logical volumes since F8. I have installed F8, F9, F11, F12, and F13 on this computer. I reserve two LVs for root partitions and alternate between them. The filesystems which mount on /home and /opt/files were preserved when F12 was installed. This is the only experience that I have so far migrating filesystems from dmraid to mdraid but there were no problems. This summer, I expect to install F13 on two computers with F11 currently installed and Intel BIOS RAID arrays. I have used the same partitioning scheme on these computers also. -- Support the Free Software Foundation - www.fsf.org -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
