If you are referring to LVM. Once I got the commands and the steps |
14 |
right, it was pretty darn easy. I have increased the size of things a |
15 |
few times with no issues. It may blow up on me one day but so far, it |
16 |
is neat. I have not reduced one yet but need to. I just haven't had |
17 |
the time really. If you have more than one drive or find yourself |
18 |
having to move things around due to one partition needing room or having |
19 |
to much room, LVM is really neat. |

If you are referring to grub2. I found a Gentoo wiki page that shows |
22 |
how to chain load both grubs. What it does is leave old grub there. In |
23 |
the menu for old grub, which loads first, you select to chain load |
24 |
grub2. If grub2 works fine, then you can remove the old grub. If it |
25 |
doesn't work, then you use the old grub to boot with. Honestly, it |
26 |
wasn't bad at all. I don't recall even having a single issue getting |
27 |
the OS to load. I stuck a script with the command for updating grub2 in |
28 |
my /root directory. It has the longer command to update with the |
29 |
options and such. My only issue right now is that I can't get the |
30 |
memtest thing to work and don't have enough space on /boot for |
31 |
sysrescue. The biggest thing, I got to pick a time to switch that was |
32 |
convenient for me. In my opinion, grub2 is stable enough for most |
33 |
likely any setup that supports it. |

If you need a link to the wiki, I got it bookmarked somewhere. Let me |
36 |
know and I'll go find it. |
