Hi, everyone, I used parted and mke2fs to create my disk partitions and format them. I changed to root with su - then edited /etc/fstab like so: # vi /etc/fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb2 /mnt/home ext2 defaults 0 0 I created the directory # mkdir /mnt/home Then I executed the following: # mount -a the volumes remounted with no errors. Next I moved my home directory: # mv /home/user /mnt/home/user (where user is my login name) Then I checked that the move was completed and successful by prowling around a bit in /mnt/home. Next I removed the old home directory: # rm dir /home/user and then setup the link from /home to the new devic by editing fstab # vi fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb2 /home ext2 defaults 0 0 and mounted it # mount -a # ls /home/lesh everything appeared OK. Finally a reboot and relogin and I was up in my new home directory. Problem: LVM doesn't see the volume as initialized. Checking the man pages for lvm and all the commands I do not see how to make this play. Please help me straighten this out. Either new instructions or a link to something that explains it in detail. Regards, Les H
