Oh, that. Yes, perfectly. Add the new PVs to the VG using vgextend, then create whatever LV layout you need on the new PVs (lvcreate ... -i ... PV), mkfs, then copy the data to the new filesystems, rearrange mountpoints, then vgreduce the old PV from the VG. Done. But not on-line... you can move LVs to another PV within a VG, but you can't convert a normal LV to a striped one. -- Die, v.: To stop sinning suddenly. -- Elbert Hubbard _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
