Yes, that is possible with LVM, too. Just add the new disk, make it a physical volume and add that physical volume to your volume group. This would look like this, assuming you add a second SCSI disk, /dev/sdb. # fdisk /dev/sdb /* create one partition /dev/sdb1 covering the whoqle disk */ # pvcreate /dev/sdb1 # vgextend vg0 /dev/sdb1 In fact, it's not even necessary to partition your drive at all, i.e. you can pvcreate /dev/sdb. urs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
