I understand the need to get up nerve. That was the hardest part for |
| 23 |
me, and took by far, the most time. I did *not* have room in / for /usr |
| 24 |
but *did* have an online external disk on the machine with lots of room |
| 25 |
(Alan's "what I should have done" scheme). I could afford downtime so I |
| 26 |
did everything booted from an installation CD so that nothing would |
| 27 |
change. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
1. Booted minimal installation CD |
| 30 |
2. Copied my 5 lvs (/usr, /opt, /var, /tmp, /local) |
| 31 |
and my / to the external disk and called them old-root, old-usr, |
| 32 |
old-opt, old-var, old-tmp, old-local. |
| 33 |
3. Repartitioned the internal disk to make root bigger. |
| 34 |
4. Created the vg and pv (I have just one of each). |
| 35 |
5. Created the 5 filesystems (root, /opt, /var, /tmp, /local), with the |
| 36 |
last 4 on LVM |
| 37 |
6. Copied old-root to / and old-usr to /usr |
| 38 |
7. Mounted the 4 lvs and copied old-opt to /opt, old-var to /var, ... |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Reboot |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
It worked. |
| 43 |

| 44 |
Notes. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
1. I had grub in the MBR so that didn't change |
| 47 |
2. The root fs remained the same partition number (/dev/sda3), |
| 48 |
so didn't have to change grub. |
| 49 |
3. In fact /dev/sda3 maintained the same starting location in the new |
| 50 |
partitioning scheme, but I don't think that was relevant. |
