I have one more, and the most critical machine on which to
replace F11 with F12 -- and I picked up a hint the other day that LVM was
the reason I kept being unable, by any means I could find, to increase
the size of /boot. I would like very much to get rid of LVM -- but have
no clue how.
I know Anaconda offers an option to *hide* LVM, but I don't
recall any choice to eschew it entirely. Am I just having a memory lapse?
If not, would some kind soul please explain to this subtechnoid
how to do it?
It's been a while but I think I just formatted the disk w/o LVM. I
wouldn't think it's possible to remove LVM from an existing layout
without backing up and reformatting.
