Why do you do this at all? Grub is already in your MBR, so why bother

Just to add something from experience, if you plan to use XFS, make sure

However, there's some advantage in using one:
1) Can use a different fs than /.
2) Can be shared by different installations/distributions.
3) Allows to encrypt (and/or use LVs for) everything else.

Thank you for some thoughtful suggestions.
I have just gotten a 500GB SATA drive, intending to back up all of my
data. What I fear most about LVM is the possibility of losing the
data somehow. I may be too yesterday, but I sense that ordinary

1) Set your laptop to shutdown gracefully when power drops below 3%.

Comments for this thread have been helpfu. I have done a test install
