Hello! I have two SCSI harddisks of 4.5 GB each and I want to install Linux on them on top of LVM. I want to put / /boot /var /home /usr/local on the first disk and /usr on the second one. At the same time I want to have all partitions (except /boot) on LVM so I can extend/snapshot them. I can take the obvious route of creating a PV on each of the harddisks and putting them in the same VG and then splitting the VG into LV. But I want to make sure /usr gets on the second disk and all /usr and / get allocated at the beginning of the PV. I can simulate this by creating the first LVs than a LV that will fill up the first PV then the LV for /usr... But this is ugly and I am not sure is guaranteed to work. Any "smart" solution to this problem? Any plans to implement such a feature in lvcreate?
