no one would partition a hard disk along file system subdirectories.
Want to bet? Some of us, especially home users, consider LVM a pointless complication for our use case and never use it.
I am still using EXT4 partitions (via manual partition setup) for F35 on my notebook for /boot, /, and /home:
temp stuff deleted.
$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 69G 27G 39G 42% / /dev/sda1 974M 293M 614M 33% /boot /dev/sda5 372G 241G 113G 69% /home
I've still got plenty of room on my 500GB SSD drive, so I am not concerned about space. Perhaps with F36 (or F37 if I skip), I will try and see if btrfs gains me anything for possible performance loss.
Oh, in /home/common/ietf I have ALL RFCs and drafts! (over 138K drafts!), so lots of little files....
I used to do the same, having to manually partition because the default setup was LVM. However I prefer BTRFS because a) I don't have to guess what size of partitions to create at install time, something which is difficult to change later, and b) BTRFS includes features such as snapshots and built-in RAID without having to deal with an additional layer as with LVM.
Again, it's a matter of preference.
