Interesting read and it helps. I sort of understand LVM and realize its |
| 121 |
benefits but just concerned about something breaking and me sitting here |
| 122 |
with no clue how to fix it. Of course, Knoppix and gmails web mail may |
| 123 |
help tho. ;-) Thanks for posting fstab too. That gives me some clues |
| 124 |
on how to do mine. Clues are good. |
| 125 |
|
| 126 |
I have copied over with the following: |
| 127 |
|
| 128 |
/boot on its partition |
| 129 |
/ on its partition |
| 130 |
/home on LVM |
| 131 |
/usr on LVM |
| 132 |
/var on LVM |
| 133 |
|
| 134 |
Then I ran into this: |
| 135 |
|
| 136 |
/dev/sdb3 9614148 1526468 7599304 17% /mnt/gentoo |
| 137 |
/dev/sdb1 280003 11568 253979 5% /mnt/gentoo/boot |
| 138 |
/dev/mapper/test-home |
| 139 |
51606140 10289244 38695456 22% /mnt/gentoo/home |
| 140 |
/dev/mapper/test-usr 14449712 10841540 2874172 80% /mnt/gentoo/usr |
| 141 |
/dev/mapper/test-var 12385456 6405360 5350952 55% /mnt/gentoo/var |
| 142 |
|
| 143 |
|
| 144 |
Ooops, /usr is almost full. Well that ain't good at all is it? Well |
| 145 |
looky here: |
| 146 |
|
| 147 |
/dev/sdb3 9614148 1526468 7599304 17% /mnt/gentoo |
| 148 |
/dev/sdb1 280003 11568 253979 5% /mnt/gentoo/boot |
| 149 |
/dev/mapper/test-home |
| 150 |
51606140 10289244 38695456 22% /mnt/gentoo/home |
| 151 |
/dev/mapper/test-usr 20642428 10845076 8748856 56% /mnt/gentoo/usr |
| 152 |
/dev/mapper/test-var 12385456 6405360 5350952 55% /mnt/gentoo/var |
| 153 |
|
| 154 |
That was like 5 minutes later and it was mounted the whole time too. |
| 155 |
Yep, it's pretty neat. Now to work on this init crap. I read a couple |
| 156 |
howtos but it is still murky. It'll sort out as I get started I guess. |
| 157 |
|
| 158 |
I'm using ext4 by the way. It's been out a while and sounds like it is |
| 159 |
stable. |
| 160 |
|
| 161 |
Does LVM make the heads move around more or anything like that? I'm |
| 162 |
just thinking it would depending on what lv are on what drives. I |
| 163 |
dunno, just curious. |
| 164 |
|
| 165 |
Thanks. |
