| Feb 6, 2010 at 17:37 | comment | added | Newbie | So basically there's no way to grow the LVM? I read somewhere that lvm makes it easier to resize the partition but it doesn't look like it. It adds unnecessary complication for majority of the users. Back when I was in Fedora 7, I've moved/resized my partitions several times but after they introduced this "improvement" in Fedora 11 and left that as default, it's impossible to do anything. I'll probably have to resize again in the future so I guess I should just format, reinstall and stick to ext3. | |
