Hi everyone, I have a LVM vg on top of a softraid 5 consisting of 3 80 GB harddrives. Currently I have /dev/md0 as my only physical volume, but this will lead to problems if I am going to expand the raid 5 by adding another 80 GB harddrive to (as pvresize is not implemented again yet, as I understand). What is the best practice in this case? To add a partition table on top of /dev/md0 (but how is it represented in the /dev filesystem) and only add single partitions as pvs to the vg? I'm happy for every suggestion :) CU all, Jens -- GPG: 1024D/CF884D50 F2E8 F7FC F823 6464 4E9D EFAB 6EE9 8B9C CF88 4D50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jens Hoffrichter / joho@hausboot.org / Joho@IRC / Fon: +43-650-5376989 Wenn Du keine Kiefer sein kannst auf dem Hügel, sei ein Busch im Tal - aber sei der schönste kleine Busch am Ufer des Bachs.
