[nflug] Can I point LIB to a diff place?

[Robert Stockdale IV]

Is /dev/hda1 part of the lvm? If so you can add to / with a piece of 
another drive. I'm not familiar with booting from lvm partitions. I do 
know that I've added three separate drives on my server to form 1 shared 
partition with lvm.
