I ducked when that went right over my head. :-)
Seriously, I don't have a clue what ya'll said and too afraid to try it. I
did some reading on LVM today. I know enough to be dangerous.
I'm installing Centos 7 in /home/LV as we speak but can blow it away if you
care to help me out setting that up. Know you guys have more important
things going on than dealing with 'casual' users.
I sincerely appreciate your help!!
