indeed, i had something like this in mind... ;)
agreed, the quality of man pages is not, what it used to be back in
the day, when i was young, but lvm is old, and hence the man pages
provide more useful information than some new wannabe fancy software.
just take some time to read all relevant man pages, and even if they
turn out not to be relevant: you might learn a thing or two.
learn! that's my advice to everyone, not just you. copy and paste is
NOT the answer! at least not, if you want to understand what you're
doing.
a quick look at the man pages got me this:
- pvcreate <partition> to add a partition to a pool of physical volumes
- vgextend <volume group> <physical device> to add a physical device
to a volume group
- lvextend [options] <volume group> [<partition(s)>] to extend the
size of a logical volume
that was not so hard.
I have only skimmed reading the fine manual and other things but I'm
guessing that if the partition is full I'll either need to make it
bigger or make another one before invoking LVM?
