OK, so you are suggesting I move to lvm, or leave things as is, to ext4? The new installer does not give me an option to format ext4 (but I can keep it as is, I guess). How does one convert from ext4 to lvm? Is there any benefit to moving to lvm? Thanks very much! Ranjan -- Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on receipt.
