Hi,
I have a task I'm not sure how to do from the information in the LVM man
pages.
I want to resize a LVM Physical Volume, i.e. a partition that has LVM on
it. I have some free space on the disk just before the LVM partition.
[ DOS ][ Boot ][***FREE***][ LVM ][Swap]
According to the pvresize man page, I just need to change the place used
by the LVM partition to include the free space, e.g. using fdisk, and
then run pvresize. However, I read somewhere that this will only work
if the free space comes behind the existing LVM area. Is that right?
If so, is there a way of moving the filesystem data from the end to the
beginning of the enlarged space?
Making the free space into a new partition doesn't work since I already
have 4 primary partitions.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Martin
