Help with LVM after install
Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2011 9:32 am
I see now I should have used this tip during installation: http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Install_without_LVM However, I simply let Fedora 14 do it's thing and now I need some help managing lvm.
I recently installed a new Amahi server to a 250 GB drive. I latter added additional HDs and they are working really well using Greyhole. My problem now is that the original 250 GB drive is failing. So I did an exact bit copy clone onto a 320GB I had. Amazingly enough, I just plugged that in and the whole system booted up and is working. That is good. However I've got the extra 65 GBs or so unused. I thought I might grow the partition that is the /var/hda/files is mounted too. Only I see that the whole thing is in an lvm, and I can't even find what parts are mounted where.
I'm not even sure if what I'm asking for is possible. Perhaps just a link to some tutorials on lvm would be good. I've attached a screen shot of my fstab and what gparted reports. Thanks for any tips on working with drives and lvm.
