You can't move PVs. You need a separate /boot. If you use more than one disk then it adds significant fragility to the boot process. It slows down booting. It provides some functionality that's hugely useful in a small number of cases, and in every other case it just makes your life more complicated. btrfs does the former without anywhere near as much of the latter. -- Matthew Garrett | mj...@srcf.ucam.org -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
