I know this has been discussed before, though several of the discussions are older. I just want to get a sanity check before I start.
I have a MacPro currently running Ubuntu Studio 16.04. It is installed on a 1 Tb hard drive, using the standard Ubuntu setup during installation (ie. boot sector, swap sector, and Ubuntu). Currently Ubuntu is actually using about 150 Gb of disk space. I want to set up this machine to dual boot with Ubuntu and Fedora. This is my plan:
- Use GParted to resize the Ubuntu partition to about 500 Gb.
- Set up the remaining space (~450 Gb) as ext4.
- Install Fedora on the 450 Gb partition, as an LVM installation
- Go back to Ubuntu and execute the following commands:
# to find an LVM install from a non-LVM install
sudo apt-get install lvm2
sudo vgchange -a y
sudo update-grub
(from: http://askubuntu.com/questions/854215/dual-booting-regular-ubuntu-with-lvm-fedora/854216
with a fallback on: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2312703&highlight=fedora)
It's my understanding that this process will allow me to dual boot.
Is there anything that I missed? Do I have to modify grub to give me time to select which OS I want to boot?
Thanks. :?:
