I find 'dd' is the simplest way of doing this. Unmount the volume,
create a new logical volume of equal or greater size, then 'dd' from one
to the other:
lvcreate -L 500G -n clone volgroup00
dd if=/dev/volgroup00/original of=/dev/volgroup/clone
Hmmm... I think it didn't work as expected. I brought down the VM and
made sure that no LVM volumes were mounted, then:
# lvcreate -L 500G -n clone volgroup00
# dd if=/dev/volgroup00/original of=/dev/volgroup00/clone
The machine then had a kernel panic (I think). I'm remote so I'm not
sure, but I'll be going in soon to check on it. Not a critical system
so no big deal. I'll let everyone one what I see at the console.
