Hi! After installing fresh Etch with encrypted lvm (all except /boot), per non-expert install, I am reconsidering whether lvm is a good idea. It works fine - now - but what if it stops working?
The only partition that seems to be accessible from a sarge system on the same machine is the /boot partition. If Etch decides to misbehave, how would I be able to access my data? Or is this a case of "you do back up your data every day, don't you?" I really do like the ability to resize my partitions as needed (the layout that seemed fine upon install can really look stupid 6 months later). But not at the price of my data. And does encryption of lvm partitions unnecessarily complicate matters, especially recovery? Would just an encrypted swap partition only be better? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
