Hi All, I have SUSE 9.0 SP2 installed with two 70GB Hardware RAID 1(Its a DEll Poweredge mirrored). We have an /opt partition which is alomst full. We need to use LVM to expand OPT. We have plenty of free space on the disk. I think LVM2 is installed but not configured since we have a lvm.conf file under /etc/lvm. I have not used LVM before so I was wondring if you guys can help me out with what needs to be done to expand /opt. My first question is it possible to expand opt using LVM with existing RAID 1. My second question is do we have to break the mirror and what are the steps involved to get it done? If you guys know of any document that I can read and figure this out it would be great. dda006:/etc/lvm # lvscan No volume groups found dda006:/etc/lvm # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 73.2 GB, 73274490880 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8908 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 784 6297448+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 785 8907 65247997+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 785 1176 3148708+ 82 Linux swap /dev/sda6 1177 1960 6297448+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 1961 2744 6297448+ 83 Linux /dev/sda8 2745 3528 6297448+ 83 Linux /dev/sda9 3529 3790 2104483+ 83 Linux /dev/sda10 3791 4052 2104483+ 83 Linux dda006:/etc/lvm # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 6.1G 1.2G 4.9G 20% / tmpfs 1013M 12K 1013M 1% /dev/shm /dev/sda9 2.1G 1.4G 699M 66% /home /dev/sda8 6.1G 5.6G 435M 93% /opt /dev/sda10 2.1G 1.3G 778M 63% /tmp /dev/sda6 6.1G 2.5G 3.6G 41% /usr /dev/sda7 6.1G 149M 5.9G 3% /var hco431brgdda006:/etc/lvm # __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
