Just run pvcreate on the partition, and vgextend to add it to the VG. Should you wish to subsequently remove the PV from the VG, use pvmove to move all LVs off of the PV, then vgreduce to remove the PV from the VG. _______________________________________________ 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/
