I stay with MBR and recommend before switching to LVM, to test the usage in a virtual machine. As long as the maximum size of your HDDs is <= 2 TB MBR doesn't cause issues and it definitively is easier to use MBR than LVM, including resizing partitions. The advantage that you can enlarge a "partition" virtually might be good for data servers, but likely will cause confusion on a home PC.
For most home PC usages LVM will add more disadvantages than advantages. Simply test it by e.g. installing a Linux to e.g. Virtual Box, that's how I formed an opinion about LVM vs MBR. I will stay with MBR as long as possible. For my needs LVM is a PITA. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
