Well, yes, it is that, but I use if even on single drive machines for "deferred design", that is, I don't need to make hard and fast space allocation provisioning up front. or correcting an imbalance: too much given to one FS and not enough to another. Or a Thin Pool :-)
Good, but the question is, do you really need different system-partitions or is is just because you are used to it?
Are you an Archetypal-Irish to answer a question with another question? I don't know what you mean by "different system-partitions", and you still haven't begun to explain how or why SSD partition management or space management is superior to LVM? There are many justifications to having 'containers': security, backup, conceptual boundaries, packaging. I've discussed many of my personal reasons for LVM and for the size partitions & pools I use many times on this forum, and many people have bloged, written academic articles and given presentations back and forth over this. To paraphrase someone from the security arena, there are two philosophies for security/robustness: one is to compartmentalise, replicate and work on the assumption that any single loss is not crippling; the other is to 'put all your eggs in one basket' and watch the basket very carefully. I'm a proponent of the former. -- There is no legitimate religion apart from truth. --John Calvin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
