Can anybody help me with a simple method? > -- > Roland Brouwers If I understand correctly, you're adding the partition /dev/sda3 to a volume group. (1) Prepare the partition for use as a physical volume (PV) (verify that it does not contain critical data first!): pvcreate /dev/sda3 (2) Extend the volume group (VG) by adding the PV to it: vgextend NAME_OF_VOLUME_GROUP /dev/sda3 (3) Use the space as you see fit -- extend logical volumes, create logical volumes, etc. You should also be able to do this graphically using system-config-lvm, if desired. -Chris -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
