Since /usr, /var and /opt are on LVM, I can't see / increasing |
| 11 |
dramatically in size, and it's only 1/3 full now. The alternative would |
| 12 |
be to use a separate /boot and mess around with initramfs images to |
| 13 |
load / from LVM, which is extra hassle and another potential point of |
| 14 |
failure. |

No major reason, but it means I still have swap available hen booting in |
| 24 |
single mode without LVM. I can't see that I'd ever be so desperate for |
| 25 |
disk space that I'd want to reduce swap. If I needed more I could always |
| 26 |
add an LVM volume to swap. I suppose it would be tidier to put swap on LVM |
| 27 |
too. |

Is it possible to be totally partial? |
