Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2000 21:14:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20000412211453.C21004@vestdata.no> (raw)
Is it needed to move the filesystem in question to do this?
Whould not the following work:
* Create the VG that should contain the filesystem
This must be created on some other device. If the disk in question is
full, it's possible to
* shrink the filesystem
* shrink the partition
* create a new partition after the one with the filesystem
and use the new partition for the VG.
* Add the device with the filesystem as a new PV in the existing VG.
The LV can cover the PV completely, and the filesystem does not have
to be shrinked or moved
This will only work assuming that LVM does not have to store any
metadata on every PV. Does it?
Moving filesystems should be avoided if possible.
