I'm re-installing slackware 9.1 on my linux box, trying to set up LVM and ReiserFs. I'm pretty new at this, learning as I go along. I originally installed to another partition, now I've creating a fresh partition and following the LVM how-to about how to set up a root volume group. My questions are about partition and volume group size. The first time I created a partition and PV I made it 5GB and found that I had created the rootvg too small by default to allocate enough space. So reading the man pages I figured out that I need to specify a certain extent size when I create the rootvg in order to use the space properly. Right now the partition is a little over 4GB and the rootvg is 3.97GB with an extent size of 8MB. Is this small extent size a good idea or will it cause problems later? Thanks for any advice, _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
