Hi Folks: It seems to me this should be a FAQ but I couldn't find any reference to it in any of the how-to's. Is it possible to retrofit lvm onto an already existing file system? The reason I am asking is I already have an ext3 set of disks and partitions quite full of valuable data. I would like to change those partitions over to lvm because it would solve one problem in particular I am having which is a partition with many entries which can not easily be split into separate partitions. My data is currently about 280gb and I don't have the room to off load recreate the partitions with lvm and then reload the data. So I was wondering if I could retrofit lvm onto the already formatted and filled partitions. Any suggestions and pointers would certainly be appreciated.
