You also have unnecessary copying with dd, but yea, partclone can save on that. If you want to keep the free backup with LVM, then instead of pvmove you can lvconvert the volumes to mirrors, then split the mirrors. The nice thing about doing it with LVM is that it can happen in the background while you still use the computer instead of having to boot from removable media and wait hours and hours for the copy. >> Don't forget you'll need to reinstall grub on the new drive for it to >> boot. > > And that is the most important reason.

Maybe a bit larger, but something that is always good to know and worth learning. _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
