Or will that not work?
That will work. You'll need to run pvresize after resizing the
partition, and you wouldn't need to use vgextend.
Thanks for taking the time to hold my hand a little through this David...
OT: this list seems a little on the dead side... is there a more active
LVM oriented list that you are aware of?
Anyway...
Ok, so I guess the only question I have is - does it matter?
Is my following evaluation correct? :
It is much simpler - because I can do this without rebooting - to just do:
vgextend vg2 /dev/sdb2, then
lvextend -L+100G /dev/vg2/var, then
resize_reiserfs -f /dev/vg2/var
than it is to:
delete /dev/sdb2, reboot, then
resize /dev/sdb1, reboot, then
run pvresize, *then*
run lvextend...
So, again - does it really matter? Is having my vg2 in one big LVM
partition 'better' than having it consist of two different partitions?
I'm thinking it does *not* matter, so will most likely go with the
first/easiest option, unless you (or someone else) provides a good
reason to take option 2...
Thanks again,
