I have one only HD, and was thinking of using LVM to install GRML to one or more logical partitions. But I've read that such setup is more likely to have problems regarding boot and files corrumtion.
If someone has installed the entire system onto logical partitions, could please tell whether or not it's really more dangerous? Is it worth to give it a try?
# mount | grep mapper /dev/mapper/x61-grml2hd on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro) /dev/mapper/grml-crypt_home on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime) [...]
I've all the partitions on LVM. :)
Also, I wouldn't like to lose any performance. Is there any slow down in any way?
No significant difference. I use LVM wherever I can, it's just worth its use.
Last for now: during the installation process, does grml2hd allow to place the root directory / in one partition, and /home in another?
No [not yet]. But just mv /home to /home.old, create /home and copy data as needed and finally adjust /etc/fstab. ;)
