The default partition scheme Disk Druid gives under FC4 is the worst possible choice. Since the default is for logical partitions, and logical partitions are easy to expand but require extreme expertise to shrink, a scheme giving a conservative partition size to the home filesystem would be desirable. In fact, the default partition size is the vast bulk of available disk space, giving the user who accepts this choice virtually no flexibility to change it later. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install FC4 using the default partitioning scheme. 2. 3. Actual Results: Got the worst possible partitioning scheme under logical volume management, because subsequently changing it requires too much expertise (see discussion at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ showthread.php?s=&threadid=337823&highlight=resize+lvm) Expected Results: The installation process should take one of two options: .Best: install a conservative size home partition, and direct users who want to use a larger home partition to use the partition configuration tool (ie the default should be appropriate for most purposes; the current default is inappropriate for just about everyone) .Second best: explain the consequences of using the default choice (i.e. inflexibility of the file system) before the user commits to it (a "do you really want to" bubble) Additional info:
