Oh, I didn't realise that. I saw Lars Marowsky-Bree saying "I wish we'd finally make it the default.", but that sounds more like a perosnal opinion.
Perhaps, dunno. LVM was proposed on the release notes of 10.3 for that purpose (or was it an error message?), and I read recently other developer say the almost same thing - when it is fact that there is no migration path from fixed partition to LVM, and poses a whole nest of problems for home users.
What happened to the idea of using the device-mapper for accessing these many partitions? I tried that out a a while ago, it works fine.
I have no idea at all. The last news I read about this, months ago, was that it wasn't feasible, and the proponents of this solution (in the bugzilla where we were talking this) failed to clarify and explain a method to do that for plain users. Felix may know more about that. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
