Hello, Derrick, you're reply is very helpfull - but I've got a new question based on the adjacency of partitions.
This is the partition table as it is: hda: hda1 hdb: hdb1 hdb2 hdb3 hdb4 < hdb5 hdb6 > the hda disk is where windows lives (for my dad) the /tmp is on hdb3, /home is on /hdb5 the partition has an "extended" partition - or so was it called - because when I made the partitions I was using Redhat 8 - and their partition tool insisted on creating an extended partition in order to have more than 5 partitions - I still don't know why this should be necessary but... well this is the situation. As far as I understand the extended partition, /hdb4, isn't a real partition so hdb3 would be next to hdb5 - which means lvm would work. Can you tell me wether this is correct (or, what the real situation is with extended partitions ?)
