Hi all, I have 2 external disks connected to my suse 7.0 box : sdb 80GB (has 4 partitions) sdc 8GB (has 3 partitions) I need to increase the size of the 3rd partition, i.e sdc3, of the disk sdc by borrowing some space from one of the free partitions,ie, sdb4 of the disk sdb. Iam not sure whether i can do this by LVM. My question is: Can i use the command pvcreate /dev/sdb4 without disturbing the data on other partitions in the disk sdb ? Thanks in Advance, Bala Sath SIEMENS Transportation Systems TS RA D OC Tel +49 531 226-6154 Fax +49 531 226-4477 mailto:Balasubramaniyan.Sathiamoorthy.ext_TCS@ts.siemens.de Note: This e-mail may contain privileged, undisclosed or otherwise confidential information.
