I am breaking an LVM which is not having any filesystem on it into 2 parts. One will be used as root of type ext4 and another part will be used as swap filesystem. How can this be done. mkfs.ext3 and mkswapfs commands exist but how to I break the LVM in to 2 parts. I am not asking to extend or move or resize or taking snapshot of the LVM which is given in your LVM Howto. If you used virt-manager it does that any user space program will show you one LVM but inside it will be having ext3 and swap partition within same LVM. I do not want to have different LVM for swap and ext3. I want both these filesystems to co exist. This thing is not mentioned in the LVM How to. _______________________________________________ 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/
