Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mertens, Bram Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2007 2:59 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: snap shot of live system? Hi, Not really, if you have enough disk space you might be able to move some partitions around but it would be quite cumbersome. You need to create partitions on the LVM logical volumes so you'll have to make place on your disk to create the physical volumes. Take a look at http://www.redhat.com/magazine/009jul05/features/lvm2/ for a quick intro. It has links to more LVM docs.
