Hello I have two partitions on a 80gb harddrive. /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdb2 I have created a VG called store_vg. $vgcreate store_vg /dev/hdb2 then $lvcreate -lXXX -nstore_lv store_vg creating an LV using all space left on hdb2 What I wanted to do next was adding the hdb1 without loosing the data on hdb2. So I did. vgextend store_vg /dev/hdb1 then lvextend -lXXX /dev/store_vg/store_lv /dev/hdb1 But I noticed that this didnt work and when doing a $ df. I got the same results as before. I guess this has to do with hdb1 not being formatted (using mkfs.xfs) correctly. When reformatting the entire LV (extended with hdb1) I got everything to work. But all data lost. This was more of a test, so I didn't loose any critical data. But how should this proceedure be done correctly? Thanks in advance Jens Berlips _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
