Right now, I doubt my current / partition can hold all the /usr stuff. |
59 |
It would require a complete undoing then redoing, like you just laid |
60 |
out. I have done this before but I would like to only have to do it |
61 |
once and be done. That is why I want to use LVM for everything but / |
62 |
but if I could get this to work right, I wouldn't mind having / on LVM |
63 |
too. |
64 |
|
65 |
Right now, I have very little confidence in this init thingy and me |
66 |
getting it to work much less able to fix it even it doesn't boot for |
67 |
some reason. |
