Have you ever tried that? I've almost killed both hard drives doing an |
| 22 |
on-line migration to a bigger HD. I wouldn't recommend it. |

You can use genkernel for that. Just configure your kernel as always, |
| 41 |
adding initrd features and then: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
genkernel --lvm [your-options] |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Easy. |
