Jack,
You really should take Lennart at his word and spend a little time learning
LVM (LVM2, actually). It's really not that hard to set up. It took me only a
couple of hours or so for my first LVM installation and that included reading
the man pages and some online help. Of course, I've only scratched the
surface of what's it's capable of doing. For me, the attraction was the
ability to dynamically adjust file system sizes, without having to shutdown,
backup, repartition, restore, etc., etc., ...
Cheers!
