Good suggestion. Another one: What about LVM snapshots? and/or btrfs snapshots? Either way would be less wasteful than a whole partition that would be obsolete in a few weeks and may or may not have to deal with byte growing pains if the initial size is too small years down the road. Another scenario: Your Fedora 14 rescue boot partition was built against kernel 2.6.34, but the root file system of your Fedora 18 installation is of a new experimental file system only found in kernel 2.6.38. The rescue partition is wasted space at this point. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
