I can agree that Feodra documentation on the subject is... missing. A. TLDP has an excellent on-line documentation. [1] B. system-config-lvm is improvement constantly. C. Documentation missing? Join the documentation team and help them fix it. Never the less, I never had any problem mounting lvm under rescue CDs. > > LVM probably kills all low-level backup and recovery.

If LVM is stable enough to be the default option under RHEL, its stable enough for me. Either way, no-body is forcing LVM down your throat. Don't like it? Don't use it. Nobody is forcing it down your throat. - Gilboa [1] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
