I think the biggest reason to use the whole drive as one logical partition would be if you had dual SATA and you were striping. It's nice to have that extra space available as non-LVM2 just in case you need it. And since we are talking about LVM2, if you have a few partitions you can always manipulate them at will anyhow. -- 8^) Laterz- ~Alvin http://CoolAJ86.Havenite.net --- Computers are like air conditioners - They can't do their job properly if you open windows. --------------020209060509090108000502 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=utf-8; name="coolaj86.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="coolaj86.vcf" begin:vcard fn:Alvin A ONeal Jr n:ONeal;Alvin adr;dom:;;34 Fletcher Lane;Shelburne;VT;05482 email;internet:coolaj86@havenite.net tel;work:1.802.877.2938 tel;home:1.802.985.5277 tel;cell:1.802.578.0599 note;quoted-printable:DoB: 19860616=0D=0A= x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://coolaj86.havenite.net version:2.1 end:vcard --------------020209060509090108000502-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
