I object to you quoting my message like this, and cutting
attributions. I did not write this.
lilo, syslinux, loadlin, etc doesn't have the same whacky
problems/requirements/restricktions that grub imposes
you can always boot almost anything ..
I have yet to understand what advantage LVM gives me. Can anyone
explain why LVM was added, and what advantages/disadvantages
it has?
lvm ...
- good for growing your FS ... if you had 10 GB disk and is 100%
full, than you can in theory, add another 40GB disk
and you'd now have more space
lvm ...
- what a pain in the butt ...
if any of the disk dies.. you lose everything
Brief, but informative. If I don't mind doing a separate mount,
and having to look into /media/somewhere/rest-of-path/...
rather than /home/somewhere/rest-of-path/... then I guess there
is no advantage to me.
Anyone else want to comment?

system is ..
Junk grows to fill all available space. The more useless
the junk, the faster it grows, the more fragmented it
is, and the harder it is to get rid of it.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
