New Hard Drive

I had to replace my 4 year old 40 GB hard drive last week because it was making clicking sounds and the BIOS was no longer recognizing it.

So the new one is twice the size, and this gave me an opportunity to repartition using LVM and doing it the proper way with the 4 partitions -- /boot, / (root), /home, and /swap.

My /boot partition is 100 megs, while root and /home are 10 gigs, and /swap is 2.048 gigabytes.

After installing all the software I use, the root partition just has 6.5 gigabytes left over, but with LVM I can easily expand that without having to reformat, as there is 46 gigabytes of freespace.
