With EVMS, can I make it so, that the "things" where I put filesystems |
18 |
on (logical volumes in LVM, partitions in old style partitioning) are |
19 |
NOT consecutive? Because that's the great feature of LVM. |
20 |
|
21 |
Example: |
22 |
|
23 |
- place1 |
24 |
- place2 |
25 |
|
26 |
place1 and place2 are directly "beneath" each other (in old style |
27 |
partition speak: end cylinder of place1 is just 1 before the start |
28 |
cylinder of place2). Now place1 needs to be made bigger. |

What to do? |

Ah. So EVMS makes use of LVM and is just some sort of GUI? So I |
41 |
need to know EVMS and at least the basics of LVM? |

Last night the power went out. Good thing my camera had a flash.... |

The neighbors thought it was lightning in my house, so they called the cops. |
