Hi Lists, I recently did some rearranging of my partitions, so that everything except / and /boot (they're where my Windows used to be) is on a logical volume. Yay, me. My partitioning now looks like this:
>marcec marcec # df -h >Dateisystem Größe Benut Verf Ben% Eingehängt auf >/dev/sda1 1,2G 516M 610M 46% / >udev 10M 280K 9,8M 3% /dev >tmpfs 501M 0 501M 0% /dev/shm >/dev/mapper/maindisk-Var > 2,0G 340M 1,7G 17% /var >/dev/mapper/maindisk-Usr > 20G 13G 7,4G 64% /usr >/dev/mapper/maindisk-Opt > 15G 8,6G 6,5G 57% /opt >/dev/mapper/multimedia-Home > 45G 40G 5,7G 88% /home >/dev/mapper/multimedia-Media > 20G 1,5G 19G 8% /home/marcec/multimedia >/dev/mapper/multimedia-Stuff > 45G 37G 8,7G 81% /home/marcec/stuff I wasn't sure how big I should make /var and /usr. /opt is that big in the event I install some more games. Otherwise /boot is on sda5, the VG maindisk on sda6 and the VG multimedia on sdb. Now, since Windows was at the beginning of the hard drive, there is a huge gap (about 23 GB) between sda5 and sda6. What I want to know is, how would I go about filling the gap to have a single, large partition for maindisk? Gparted wouldn't do it and I didn't dare do anything with cfdisk. For the moment I added a new partition (via cfdisk, that I did dare do) that takes up the entire gap and extended maindisk to that. It's not what I wanted, but it works. So that puts the VG on both sda6 (new) and sda7 (old sda6). So it looks like this now: >marcec marcec # pvs > PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree > /dev/sda6 maindisk lvm2 a- 23,22G 23,22G > /dev/sda7 maindisk lvm2 a- 273,31G 233,38G > /dev/sdb1 multimedia lvm2 a- 149,05G 39,05G Of course, since I didn't do anything else to maindisk, I understand I can always remove the partition from LVM via vgreduce and pvremove. Any hints in this regard, or is my current solution the only viable? -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup
