[CentOS] Don't understand how to re-partition this setup or why it was made like this

[Yves S. Garret]

Hi, thanks for your response.

One more question.  Would I need to have logical volumes or can I get away
with
having one massive volume/partition and then have everything on that one
partition?

In the interim I'll have a directory in / that I can use to just dump stuff
in and will
rebuild my machine at a later date.
