Well, you do need device mapper, for how we do encryption, though, and of course, you can't have LVM without device mapper. I think getting rid of device mapper is a good, related, goal, too. Both LVM and device mapper add layers of complexity that, while useful in some contexts, aren't really necessary in a lot of common workstation cases. --Ray -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
