Because I know what physical disks I have in my machine and I want to relate that to what I see in the output of df. I might even want to move a device to another machine and be able to mount the right partitions in the right places. With "normal" (i.e. non-LVM) partitioning it's fairly easy to do this. With LVM it's definitely not. poc -- users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
