lvm2

[Yankee]

Hi,

When I shutdown I let the PC display all messages.
It is now displaying a message relating that LVM is shutting
down, no volume groups found.   OK no problem.

This message was not previously displayed.    I don't use
or plan to use LVM, RAID, samba,  networking, etc. on this machine.
Just regular ext4 partitions auto-mounted without flex_bg.
I usually don't orchestrate a multi-boot scenario either.

Question is can I uninstall LVM2 to eliminate this unneeded
overhead ?     Probably doesn't matter but a question nonetheless.

I have uninstalled the three LVM2 related packages ....  watching to see if there is any negative result 

BTW, I also had spotted and wondered about that LVM message recently ......

Being a strong proponent of ext4 ^flex_bg I can see no home use for LVM.
Jesus, the proponents must think I'm running a little league team or something.

email only...

Having never seen an operating Linux network, but have used IBM networks
and Windows for Workgroups networks, I think the normal ext4 FS allocations
in a non-business setting would be sufficient.   Nice to know they have the
Linux LVM capabilities and features available if needed is comforting. 

Perhaps I'll delete my LVM2 package someday if I can pinpoint it requiring
excessive overhead.

Thanks for The Response,
