I'm doing a new install from the floppies and was wondering if there is anyway to do this with LVM on the drive?
I was thinking of something like:
/boot ext2 swap /root ext3 /dev/LVM... everything else (home, usr, var, opt, tmp)
Doing this with SuSE was easy. Doing this with gentoo was possible. I have No Clue on how to do this with Debian. Are the lv applications necessary available during the installation or do I need something else?
I do not know any Debian installation media with support for LVM.
So I have installed just a Debian woody base with /boot ext2 16 MB
swap
/root reiserfs 200 MB
I have added the LVM utilities and created the LVM partitions after having a running base system.
Then I've mounted the lvs to mountpoints like /mnt/usr, /mnt/var, /mnt/tmp, ...
next I've done a cp -aR /usr/* /mnt/usr/ and so on.
next I've deleted the contents from /usr with rm -rf /usr/* and mounted usr_lv to mountpoint /usr.
This should work for me then. I was planning on something similar in structure.
What deb packages do you need for a basic config of LVM?
