If you used labels, and if you did not use partitions as a backup strategy, and if you did not use partitions for multibooting various distros, in which case you had to either quit using Fedora altogether, or add a bunch of disks. >> We're using LVM instead of raw partitions. > Thankfully anaconda still lets you use raw partitions.

The only advantage I found in LVM (not that ostensible others don't exist) was in getting around the libata/scsi 14 partition per HD limit. I found that advantage overwhelmed by LVM's inability to synergize with my backup strategy and multiboot. So now instead of having current Fedora on lots of machines that actually get used, I have Rawhide on one box that sees little use other than to check on what's going on in Rawhide; F8 on one box with a 2nd HD with only 11 partitions; and F7 or older on a few others, all of which have >15 partitions. -- "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."
