Ralf,

After looking at the Device Mapper info on Google and examining the 
/etc/fstab file, I realized the system, for some unknown reason, decided 
that that was the way to handle my / partition (/dev/sda1). This 
evidently happened during either at installation of at some later date, 
I did not request it.

How do I remove the DM stuff via the command line? I use apt-get to do 
updates but I am unsure of how to do much else.

I can modify the /etc/fstab to use legacy notation. Is that sufficient 
or do I need to do more?

Thanks,
Jay
