With EVMS, can I make it so, that the "things" where I put filesystems on (logical volumes in LVM, partitions in old style partitioning) are NOT consecutive? Because that's the great feature of LVM. Example: - place1 - place2 place1 and place2 are directly "beneath" each other (in old style partition speak: end cylinder of place1 is just 1 before the start cylinder of place2). Now place1 needs to be made bigger. What to do? > With EVMS: > emerge evms > run evmsn or evmsgui > create the partitions (segments), using the DOS segment manager. > create a volume group (container), using the LVM2 plugin (here you see that > to some extend, EVMS is just an umbrella for everything storage related). > create logical volumes (regions), again using the LVM2 plugin. Ah. So EVMS makes use of LVM and is just some sort of GUI? So I need to know EVMS and at least the basics of LVM? Alexander Skwar -- Last night the power went out.
