What it has done, when I installed F12 I did not select separate home
partition so the install created /boot ext4 and a virtual disk (lvm2)
for the home partition.
I have two options 1.) boot gpart live iso and resize the boot and
upgrade to F13
or the most likely option Is to reformat and clean install F13 with
seperate /home partition.
Either way I still have to back up the /home virtual partition (300gig)
before I do anything
gparted I find out now will handle lvm filesystem so I will go for the
learning experience and try the resize of boot and make a /home
partition first (after backup)
If that runs into problems then I have no lose and just reformat entire
drive and install F13
I am not sure about the nvidia proprietary drivers if I am successful in
the /boot resize and upgrade.
Would I reinstate nouveau first before the upgrade attempt or can I
install F13 upgrade with the nvidia drivers intact?
Thanks for the responses
Michael
