So I was an idiot when I set up my system and didn't use LVM. Now that |
| 2 |
I'm out of disk space on one of my drives and kicking myself, I want to |
| 3 |
do it without doing a reinstall. If I use tar -cvjpf |
| 4 |
oldSystemThatShouldStillWorkWhenUnTarred.tar.bz2 /, then setup LVM, then |
| 5 |
tar all that junk back to the new system via tar -xvpf |
| 6 |
oldSystemThatShouldStillWorkWhenUnTarred.tar.bz2 with / as my working |
| 7 |
directory, should that do the trick (with, of course, another go at |
| 8 |
grub-install)? Is the -p flag to tar enough to store ALL the necessary |
| 9 |
file system information? I just want to make sure I'm not forgetting |
| 10 |
anything... |

|
| 12 |
P.S. And I'll have to build LVM support into the kernel too... |
