Hi all, It seems I'm up to my neck in it again :-( Briefly, I ran out of space on my LVM mounted /home partition but as I have 1.5GB space free on another disk I thought I'd add that to my volume group and increase the size of /home. All seemed to go OK until reboot upon which my system can only mount / (which is independent of LVM). It appears that /etc/lvmtab /etc/lvmtab.d have all been deleted hence why it can't find LVG "system". /etc/lvmtab exists but is empty. /etc/lvmtab.d/ exists but is empty. /etc/lvmconf/ exists & contains system.conf.1.old and system.conf (newest). System is SuSE 8.0 Pro. on i386 Harddisks: 2 scsi mounted as /dev/sdb1 swap /dev/sdb2 / /dev/sdb3 LVM /dev/system/home /home /dev/system/usr /usr /dev/system/var /var sda had an old installation of SuSE on it is presently unused (and half the size of sdb). Any guidance as to where to go from here would be appreciated pls. Thanks, Mark Pearson. _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
