Hi everybody, I have currently the following setup on my laptop : Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 509 4088511 12 Compaq diagnostics /dev/sda2 510 6303 46540305 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sda3 6304 6434 1052257+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 * 6435 12161 46002127+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 6435 9307 12586927 83 Linux /dev/sda6 9307 10961 13285724 83 Linux
On sda5 I currently have OpenSuse 10.0, and on sda6 I have OpenSuse 10.1. This works well, but I have some problems with flexibility. What I really would like is to use LVM to manage my Linux partitions, but I'm not sure how to go about this. My first idea is this: - Drop sda3 to sda6 - create sda3 as extended partition - create sda5 as LVM partion in sda3 - create the following logical volumes in the LVM parition - linux_system1 (currently 10.0) - linux_system2 (currently 10.1) - swap - home (mounted at /home for both systems) What I don't understand is how would I set the mount points for linux_system1 and linux_system2 (they are both mounted at /). Second problem is that it seems to be recommended that /boot not be in the LVM partition. As far as I can see this allows me to have only one /boot then, but I will need one for each system I would like to boot. Any ideas how I should approach this?
