Hi i m trying to move my FC4 installation to a new disk and i m a bit confused... I ve managed to do some things: I made two partitions on new disk /dev/hdb1 and /dev/hdb2 in order to move there /dev/hdc1 and /dev/hdc2. Second step was to make them use ext3 file system. Then with pvcreate /dev/hdb2 initialized for use with lvm. I didnt initialize /dev/hdb1 because /dev/hdc1 is also out of the lvm thing. After that i ve done: vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/hdb2 and pvmove /dev/hdc2 /dev/hdb2 My system seems to work yet :) but what i have to do now? i ve missed something essential? what to do with the /boot partition? can i remove now the old partition /dev/hdc2 ? why /dev/hdb2 transfered data has taken so much space (about,38 GB on new disk - they were less than 30 GB in the old partition /dev/hdc2), do i have to extend LogVol00 that remain 37GB (the size of the old partition) and how? Now i have PV /dev/hdc2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [38,19 GB / 38,19 GB free] PV /dev/hdb2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [74,41 GB / 36,25 GB free] PV /dev/hdb1 lvm2 [99,70 MB] Total: 3 [112,69 GB] / in use: 2 [112,59 GB] / in no VG: 1 [99,70 MB] --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/hdc2 VG Name VolGroup00 PV Size 38,19 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 1222 Free PE 1222 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID b8E1VI-sqsw-LZTF-BEyq-Yox0-5h6r-4i4NH8 --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/hdb2 VG Name VolGroup00 PV Size 74,41 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 2381 Free PE 1160 Allocated PE 1221 PV UUID D6PNGh-JwPb-J8Ij-zbIg-UMYx-gVU9-bQ4xCQ Thanks in advance Nikos _______________________________________________ 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/
