[linux-lvm] Remove LVM2 from system

[Joaster]

Hi all,

When I installed my first FC3 server about a year ago, I used the
automatic partitioning option. As a result my root and swap partition
are now managed by LVM. All works fine, but I want to make images with
PartImage which doesn't recognize the volumes.

Is there a way to make at least my root partition a standard ext3
partition again?

Below I have given some disk information (i hope it will be helpful)

Bye,
Joost.
