I did use the graphical version of anaconda and I created RAID1 **AND** lvm exactly as you had requested. So, sorry to burst your bubble. Maybe you need to look more closely on the options available to you? > So I can't resize my awfull swap using this! Well, too bad then. Best of luck then.... If you don't have lvm then probably your only alternative is to turn swap off, delete the swap partition, create a new smaller partition and enable it. But, since you're not using lvm the space that was freed may not be so easy to use elsewhere. I suppose if you'd actually show your "df" and other information you could get better help. > > >> FWIW, I am having another Jack tonight....but I hope the above sheds >> some light on your configuration. > You'd better choose some single malt not less than 17 years Jack > Daniel's could make you a blind man! Sorry.... Not a Scotch Snob. Still find it humorous that folks think single-malt equates to better. But I like my Jack and even my Kirland Gin. After 43 years of Jack and other and not going blind I think I'm safe. :-) -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to get others to do the work for you
