Another thing seems to bother them is waiting for requested help. I purposely delayed my response to the OP to see what anyone else might have to say first. After a 12 hour wait I proceeded, as apparently no one else saw fit to respond. It turned out that was too long, as the OP in the mean time blew away his original hope and did a wipe and default instal My experience with such threads is help from LVM users is similar, meaning when list help is requested for LVM issues, far less is available than for those with conventional partitioning issues and questions. To be sure, LVM solves some problems that should lead to less frequency of need for help with it, but for a thread like this involving a n00b who has no apparent LVM exposure, those competent and willing to provide the exposure seem to be in short supply.
No, I use LVM extensively and am generally interested in LVM related questions. .... maybe put "LVM" in the subject of the e-mail if you have an LVM question. I see "partitioning in unallocated" and think "Ugh, they didn't use LVM" and I move on. I'm frustrated that LVM is *not* default default. There is no reason it shouldn't be, it would avoid a lot of monkey-labor that using crappy old 'partitioning' causes. EVERY OTHER OS USES LVM BY DEFAULT! Once you've moved a file-system, effortlessly, from one disk [physical volume] to another, replaced the disk, and moved your data back again.... Yep, you get a very superior attitude towards those that don't use LVM. And you are entirely justified.
Well, while your suggestions were extremely good and I completely read your first reply and it gave me the idea also but I was afraid to practically implement since daily I have to do office work and if anything goes wrong (or I stuck in the middle) I would also be not able to do that inevitable work...So, I was thinking to play this while I would be having no (or low) work so that fixing (default re installation) could also be in case if anything goes wrong...But at this time, I have no idea for LVM, brfts etc...but I would one day do this..
