I have Fedora Core4 installed on my machine and trying to make mythtv work for me. I understand I need to create a new partition /dev/hda5 and mount /video file system. I've done some reading on LVM and come up with following commands to install the new partition on my machine. I need to have them verified by experts as I don't want to risk losing any data on my hard. #pvcreate /dev/hda5 #vgcreate VolGroup00 /dev/hda5 #lvcreate -L50G -name video VolGroup00 #mount /dev/hda5/video #mount -0 remount,resize /video Below is the information on my machine: [root@localhost mytv]# /sbin/lvm.static vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2 [root@localhost mytv]# /sbin/lvm.static vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name VolGroup00 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 3 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 2 Open LV 2 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 111.69 GB PE Size 32.00 MB Total PE 3574 Alloc PE / Size 3573 / 111.66 GB Free PE / Size 1 / 32.00 MB VG UUID xdWgpi-74QQ-jgfK-EAzc-ojid-Geuo-HsyGA4 [root@localhost mytv]# /sbin/fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda2 14 14593 117113850 8e Linux LVM Please let me know if the above commands are correct or not.
