In some of my reading I came across a page recommending LVM for ease
of adjusting space.
Yeah. I'm not using it now, but it did come in handy when I was
still getting a feeling for partitioning.
I've a machine set aside for experimenting with how an install is
configured for a couple of personal projects. Relative space
usage cannot be determined in advance.
When searching for more information all I'm finding are essentially HOWTO's
with only a couple of paragraphs on "Whats" and "Whys".
Essentially nothing
on "Why not".
Reasons not to use it range from laziness to not needing it after
all (right now) to wanting to use incompatible software. My
impression is that the incompatible software usually tells you
somewhere it's not compatible.
I have a current possible use but want to know in advance of
rough spots to
estimate if the effort is likely to be productive.
No information on dual boot.
That's fairly straightforward.
Suggestions?
man -k lvm ?
That lead to a productive but OT rabbit trail ;)
Man pages are by design inherently very detailed HOWTO's.
