I've stumbled through the man page, and I've read the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file
looking for clues and have come up pretty much as dumb as when I started.
I just bought a SATA controller & a 400GB deathstar, with the intention of
putting F8 on it, using about 250 megs for an ext3 boot partition, 20GB each
in ext3 for /home, /opt & /root, and the rest in the lvm2 filesystem. That
will mean something over 300GB.
Is this beyond whatever size limitations the lvm2 filesystem can handle?
And as an aside, can F8 boot from a sata drive tied to an offboard interface
now?

Maximum LVM size Q?

No.
ext3 tops at 8 terabytes or 16, depending on which version (and maybe
depending on block size). lvm goes bigger, but I don't recall how much
bigger. Big enough for ext4 I suspect.
ext3 addresses blocks, and its limit is what it can address with 32 bits.
Maximum LVM size Q?
