[KLUG Members] Need more space for /var

[Matt Terry]

:-), I didnt say what he was doing was wrong, I was simply 
contradicting the remark that said that redhat 7.0 didnt
support LVM.  (and he did mention LVM first).. 

Although I think he meant "7.0's default kernel does not
support LVM".. 

Just giving additional alternative is all, I mean he can do whatever
he feels comfortable doing..

I mean if hes going to get a new drive to add in he may as well
just recompile the kernel with LVM, create some partitions
and copy the whole OS over to the new drive, then write lilo
to the MBR.. he just needs to make sure his LVM partitions are
as big or bigger than the initial drives partitions...
