[DC LoCo] Look before you Lynx

[flint at flint.com]

Dear Kevin,

I urge you to a different end in this iteration of the dreaded LVM 
upgrade...

Here is an abbreviated look at my system:

/dev/sda7              11G  9.1G  1.3G  89% /
/dev/sda2             156G   59G   98G  38% /ntfs
/dev/sda8             4.9G  2.9G  1.7G  64% /home/flint

Note that my home directory, which very well could be an entire LVM is 
a separate mount from the very conventional root directory.  Note that I 
feel funny even suggesting such an elementary fix.  My final vision for 
your system is something like this:

/dev/sda7              11G  9.1G  1.3G  89% /
/dev/sda2             156G   59G   98G  38% /dreadedlvm
/dev/sda8             4.9G  2.9G  1.7G  64% /home/kjcole

Anyway, be very careful, as a community's thoughts go with you as you 
shove that Lucid Lynx disk into your laptop.

...Con dios me Amigo...

Regards,

Flint
