How do you create an LVM (Logical Volume Manager)? Or do you mean LV |
16 |
(Logical Volume)? |

43 |
|
44 |
I'm not sure I get what your problem is. If you could tell more about what |

you have (i.e. how are the partitions on those two drives used currently) |
46 |
and what you want, it would be much easier to help. |
