I've no idea. I don't even have a Ubuntu installation. It was a hypothetical question. For Ubuntu susbstitute Mint, Opensuse or whatever. Not all Linux distros install LVM by default. > For (b), I have no idea what you mean by "same LVM logical > layout". The PV size, VG and LV names, etc. are all part of a > particular device.

I often feel that many of the issues people have with LVM are caused by this sort of thing. I last used LVM several years ago and clearly remember reading over the docs multiple times before making what should have been a simple change, before finally resorting to asking the list. I don't doubt that people who use it every day are comfortable with it, but most of us just don't, so if I had to repeat the experience I would no doubt go through the same learning curve only to forget it again when I finished. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
