So my experience doesn't matter any then? My /usr does vary and |
20 |
sometimes varies quite a bit. That is why I had to resize the thing. |
21 |
Saying that I didn't make it large enough to begin with isn't the |
22 |
point. When people use LVM, the reason they use it is so that we can |
23 |
resize things when needed. |

And what is ratinal for you, is not rational to me. Since you can |
35 |
dismiss mine, I can dismiss yours too. Funny how that works huh? For |
36 |
ME, it is logical/rational for me to have the setup like I have it. I |
37 |
did it this way to speciffically avoid the init thingy and be flexible |
38 |
when needed. If I wanted one, I would have used one when I first |
39 |
installed Gentoo and not only that, put everything but /boot on LVM. |

You may not since you are not sitting in MY chair. My statements are |
60 |
not trying to change the way you run your puter, but yours seem to be |
61 |
trying to get me to change mine. I don't want to change mine when it |
62 |
comes to adding a init thingy to the boot process. Simple as that. |
