Hi, debian list, I had a lenny installation that has the lvm setup done by the lenny installer, I knew nothing about lvm then so it ended up with a single root lv.
Now I would like to follow other list member's advice to have separate LVs for var, tmp, home etc. But I don't know how to perform the operation to make it happen, I have skimmed lvm howto but I don't see a chapter detailing on this task. Thanks for any pointers! Here is my setup Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/debian-root 50G 19G 28G 41% / tmpfs 1008M 0 1008M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 80K 10M 1% /dev tmpfs 1008M 0 1008M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 228M 28M 189M 13% /boot the harddrive is 250G zhengq...@craig:/$ sudo pvs PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sda2 debian lvm2 a- 249.80G 195.80G zhengq...@craig:/$ sudo lvs LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert root debian -wi-ao 50.00G swap debian -wi-ao 4.00G zhengq...@craig:/$ sudo vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree debian 1 2 0 wz--n- 249.80G 195.80G there are only two LVs in root PV, the root lv is 50G and the sap lv is 4G. and the pv is 249.80G. it has 195.80G free PEs. -- Zhengquan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
