I'm building a few new perfsonar boxes, and grabbed
http://software.internet2.edu/pS-Performance_Toolkit/pS-Performance_Toolkit-3.3.2-NetInstall-x86_64.iso

After installation, I found that the drive was partitioned with a root and
a home partition:

$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_ps4-lv_root
                       50G  1.6G   46G   4% /
tmpfs                 7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1             485M   39M  421M   9% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_ps4-lv_home
                      211G  188M  200G   1% /home

Back on January 8, 2014, on perfsonar-ps-users list, in a thread with the
Subject: Re: [pS-PS-Users] Troubleshooting documentation, Andy replied
about this happening then:

Any ideas on why this happened?
