Re: [linux-lvm] How can I change my disk type to 0x8e?

Re: [linux-lvm] How can I change my disk type to 0x8e?

[Patrick Boutilier]

I changed from partition type 0 (empty) to 8e about 6 months ago and didn't lose
any data. I had type 0 because when I first installed LVM I tried to toggle my
partions to 0x8e and it changed it to type 0. LVM worked with type 0 but fdisk -l
showed no partitons. :-)

Run fdisk.

First of all you want type 8e not 0. That was a mistake I made when i first
set it up. To cahnge a partion type you must use fdisk (eg. fdisk /dev/hda).
Then toggle the partion (use the t command) to type 8e

You mentioned losing data and this being a first time install. You can't take
existing partitions and expect them to work inside an LVM setup. You would
create Physical volumes, Volume groups, and Logical volumes using new/empty
disk partitions and then copy existing data onto new filesystems in the LVM
group.
