But at a lower level it makes things much more complex, and the lower level will come out when something breaks. In most cases you could solve the running out of disk space problem by just making everything one big partition. I don't have a problem with LVM, I just have a problem with as the default, which will effect the newbies more than anyone else. As for SELinux, I think it needs a lot of work before it is ready for prime time. I think the best thing to do if developers are determined to go down this road is to make it a boot option or something, but not make it the default for now. All the cases need to be covered first. Does this work with rescue mode? Will it cause any issues with users trying to reinstall grub with grub-install?
