Help with LVM after install

Postby jonathankonrad » 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.

Thanks. On first glance this would help if part of my lvm needed to be replaced. I'll read more indepth. In the mean time my system is running on the new drive and maybe it's not that important if I lose space.

Thanks.
