This may take a while... Found volume group "system" using metadata type lvm1 home:/# pvcreate /dev/hdd2 Failed to read existing physical volume '/dev/hdd2' Physical volume "/dev/hdd2" successfully created It still says "failed to read" etc. but then says successfully created. Hmm... home:/# vgextend system /dev/hdd2 Volume group "system" successfully extended Ok, looks like it is working ok. Now another problem... home:/# pvmove Command not implemented yet. Ugh...looks like LVM1 had it but LVM2 does not yet. Has this changed since my version? LVM version: 1.95.10 (2002-05-31) Even if pvmove is still nonexistant I guess I can put the new disk in another VG, create LV's over there, and manually copy the data over.
