Here is the result of a "df" on my system - this is of course a snapshot of what it does. Already come and gone is a LV for a subversion repository and an LV for /var/www (I used to hold a debian mirror there created with apt-move - but now I just use apt-proxy so I released the space). Of special interest is the last entry which is a special LV I created in order to build kde debs. You need an "unstable" system and this machine is running sarge, so this partition contains a chrooted unstable system. I had no idea how much space would be needed, and initially allocated 2Gb - I subsequently increased it twice (to 3Gb and then to 4Gb) as I started to run out of space. You will also notice this flexibility encourages small little partitions for specific purposes. All the separate partitions in /bak are various other machines backups and since I don't know how much space each might need at anyone time its easier to create separate LVs alan@roo:~$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 1921156 864324 959240 48% / /dev/vg/home 2040400 135072 1801700 7% /home /dev/vg/roo 10321208 2918092 6878828 30% /bak/roo /dev/vg/tosh 5160576 2850004 2048428 59% /bak/portege /dev/vg/pooh 22706684 8292140 13261112 39% /bak/pooh /dev/vg/arch 4128448 745384 3173352 20% /bak/archive /dev/vg/var 5184736 1833404 3087960 38% /var /dev/vg/cvs 2064208 166468 1792884 9% /cvs /dev/vg/deb 4128448 2857400 1145220 72% /root/deb alan@roo:~$ The last thing to say is that the Volume Group vg covers three disks (a second partition on /dev/hda, most of /dev/hdb - a small swap partiion is also allocated - and all of /dev/hdc - although I followed recommendations and made a single partition /dev/hdc1). The /bak/roo LV is all allocated on /dev/hdb2 and the other non /bak LVs (apart from the last - which I don't backup and therefore did not bother to worry about where it is) NOT on /dev/hdb, so I can do genuinely do a disk to disk backup of my system (this was why I agonised over whether I needed one or two volume groups in the original setup - see earlier post). - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE96cQAuFHxcV2FFoIRAtMVAKCQIsl/E4j/nCXEBhQ//u8ey4pT+gCgpg3L 4i7gi8m544YRXivPdOqHAnc= =b8Ja -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
