> I have never had a space issue since installing this PC with LVM drives.  However I ran out of / space today!  My / was 221MB and no way to increase space as i created root on /dev/hda1

> I noted /lib was the largest at 133 and that modules was almsot all of that . I deleted soem unused kernels modules and space reclaimed - now I am wondering if /libs can be on a differnt location with a link to /lib..  It seems that an LVM may need to be mounted via a kernel module or user space prog before the files are accessible so it woudl be trying to use libs to mount /libs!?  Am I assuming correct?

I'm not at all familiar with LVM. But do you have another partition that
you can make your root partition and then point your bootloader to it?

Maybe  a move to Ubuntu, Mepis or the like is in my near future...I can't even believe myself!  Maybe after a few hours sleep this will all seem much better...
