Hi,

I have to admit to being lazy when adding new Distros in the past due
the size of cheap large HD's! Recently I was having problems with my
Fedora 23 not booting on sda and reverted to Fedora 22 on sdb. Both are
configured to use a separate /home partition and my data is is OK.

On checking what is configured (and revising a bit on LVM) I found my
LVM on sdb is in a real mess. It is too complex to explain so here is
what I think I have (learnt a bit of Inkscape!):

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45909169/LVMDisks.pdf

I want to tidy up sdb:

Could I join VG's "Fedora21_Study" and "Fedora" then rename it more
suitably?

I could then remove swap from "Fedora21_study" and "VG Fedora00" then
reuse any space saved.

If there are other better suggestions (not "don't use LVM!), would be
appreciated?

Apologies again for being indisciplined in the past


Regards

Peter H
