It's been a while since I touched LVM, I don't use it on my personal machines since I don't need what it provides and when it was first introduced in Fedora I found it slowed things down a bit. Right now I'm changing my laptop to a 250GB SSD (from the 100GB it had previously). It dual boots and was a little tight for space (since just getting Win7 installed means about 40GB for the partition). What's there now is approximately: - windows c:\ 40GB NTFS - linux ~30GB ext4, / and /home - swap 2GB - /boot 500MB - shared NTFS remainder (~30GB, no, those don't quite match 100GB total) * normally on dual boot I put shared data on NTFS, FAT has too many problems (like file size, naming issues), and I don't really trust windows not to mess up ext4. There does seem to be a bit of a performance hit using NTFS from Linux, my desktop has various extra partitions for different things. I'm thinking of adding most of the extra space to the shared partition, but also considering whether it's worth having a separate /home partition now there's a bit of space for it. But not certain in advance what the balance of those should be, so it'd be nice to be able to adjust it after the fact if needed, and I'm wondering what the most painless way of doing that will be. The nuclear option of course is take copies of everything, recreate those two partitions and then copy back on. Is there any less drastic approach? -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- 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?
