Hi Lists, |

I recently did some rearranging of my partitions, so that everything |
| 4 |
except / and /boot (they're where my Windows used to be) is on a |
| 5 |
logical volume. Yay, me. My partitioning now looks like this: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
>marcec marcec # df -h |
| 8 |
>Dateisystem Größe Benut Verf Ben% Eingehängt auf |
| 9 |
>/dev/sda1 1,2G 516M 610M 46% / |
| 10 |
>udev 10M 280K 9,8M 3% /dev |
| 11 |
>tmpfs 501M 0 501M 0% /dev/shm |
| 12 |
>/dev/mapper/maindisk-Var |
| 13 |
> 2,0G 340M 1,7G 17% /var |
| 14 |
>/dev/mapper/maindisk-Usr |
| 15 |
> 20G 13G 7,4G 64% /usr |
| 16 |
>/dev/mapper/maindisk-Opt |
| 17 |
> 15G 8,6G 6,5G 57% /opt |
| 18 |
>/dev/mapper/multimedia-Home |
| 19 |
> 45G 40G 5,7G 88% /home |
| 20 |
>/dev/mapper/multimedia-Media |
| 21 |
> 20G 1,5G 19G 8% /home/marcec/multimedia |
| 22 |
>/dev/mapper/multimedia-Stuff |
| 23 |
> 45G 37G 8,7G 81% /home/marcec/stuff |
| 24 |
|

I wasn't sure how big I should make /var and /usr. /opt is that big in |
| 26 |
the event I install some more games. Otherwise /boot is on sda5, the VG |
| 27 |
maindisk on sda6 and the VG multimedia on sdb. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Now, since Windows was at the beginning of the hard drive, there is a |
| 30 |
huge gap (about 23 GB) between sda5 and sda6. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
What I want to know is, how would I go about filling the gap to have a |
| 33 |
single, large partition for maindisk? Gparted wouldn't do it and I |
| 34 |
didn't dare do anything with cfdisk. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
For the moment I added a new partition (via cfdisk, that I did dare do) |
| 37 |
that takes up the entire gap and extended maindisk to that. It's not |
| 38 |
what I wanted, but it works. So that puts the VG on both sda6 (new) and |
| 39 |
sda7 (old sda6). So it looks like this now: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
>marcec marcec # pvs |
| 42 |
> PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree |
| 43 |
> /dev/sda6 maindisk lvm2 a- 23,22G 23,22G |
| 44 |
> /dev/sda7 maindisk lvm2 a- 273,31G 233,38G |
| 45 |
> /dev/sdb1 multimedia lvm2 a- 149,05G 39,05G |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Of course, since I didn't do anything else to maindisk, I understand I |
| 49 |
can always remove the partition from LVM via vgreduce and pvremove. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Any hints in this regard, or is my current solution the only viable? |
