Hi all, |

I've got an LVM setup at the minute that consists of 3x1TB and 3x1.5TB |
4 |
drives. Its setup with one huge XFS partition with all my data on. I don't |
5 |
have a backup of any kind and I know thats pretty silly but with the cost |
6 |
of replicating the whole lot being what it is and the lack of space in my |
7 |
server for more drives I have to live with it for the minute. Its got to |
8 |
the point now where I have 200gb free on it and the drives are pretty old |
9 |
so I'm going to need to get some new storage. I initially want to replace |
10 |
the 3x1TBs with a single 3TB drive but i've never removed/replaced a drive |
11 |
in an LVM setup before. I think I understand how it is done, using pvmove |
12 |
but a lot of the information around it has giant warnings saying backup |
13 |
before you do it. Has anyone used pvmove before and has it gone as planned |
14 |
or not? Also, would someone with a 3TB drive be able to give me the exact |
15 |
size of the drive so I can work out if it will have enough extents to |
16 |
replace the 3 drives? |

Thanks for your help |
