Hi All I am running LVM on RHEL AS 3.0 (2.4.21 based kernel). We have two filesystems like this: Device Size Used Avail /dev/sda1 985G 604G 332G 65% /fs1 /dev/sdb1 591G 87G 474G 16% /fs2 They contain a number of ~2gig files that don't change once they are written - they only get deleted after a certain amount of time. I would like to use LVM to create a new VG containing /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 as PVs, to be able to present a single larger filesystem to the O/S. Now I realise this is trivial if you don't mind data loss,or are able to copy the data off the filesystems temporarily. What I would "like" to do is copy everything from /fs2 to /fs1 so that /fs2 is empty. I could then pvcreate /dev/sda1 and place it into a brand new VG while PRESERVING the data, then extend the VG by adding a new PV (/dev/sdb1). Then of course the LV and FS could be extended. The sort of thing I am talking about it like disk encapsulation on Veritas VM. Is this possible at all with linux-lvm ? If not - any plans for the future? Thanks!
