Thank you rmc.
No reason to change the LVM.
This however begs another question.
The installation was originally Fedora 18 which I upgraded to Fed19. I'm 
guessing all the apps and installed files, like inkscape, scribus, etc 
are in the /root part of the LVM aka /sbin /bin /usr /etc and so on -- 
is this correct?
Can I format only the /boot and /swap, will all those installed apps 
remain intact, and be accessible as before?
TIA
