[Wylug-discuss] Up rating my filling system

[Türker Sezer]

According to documents, you can convert MBR to GPT without data loss [0]
and you can make LUKS conversion in-place [1]. But you can't enable LVM
without moving data. Also all these operations have data loss risk all time
so getting backup before disk operations is always recommended.
