So here is the story:
Dear *,If you are impatiente, just skip to last paragraph!A long time ago I discovered the power of installing (at least) / and /home in separate partitions. As everyone knows, in case of need we can just re-install/upgrade/downgrade/... the OS keeping the /home data safe.I decided it was time to try out the crypsetup for the first time. While installing #!
Linux initially comes with hard drive partitioned and Logical volume made. What is that used for? On /dev/mapper, I see logical volume named after my computer and it has /home and such.... [by shuhei]
hi everybody,
i have two ext3 partitions within an encrypted lvm2 volume.
when i start up my system it says that there are 0.3% non contiguous blocks.
This is my steup:
/dev/sda1/
/boot
/dev/sdb2
Volumegroup System
/ 42 GB ext3 Logical Volume root
/home 108 GB ext3 Locigal Volume home
Is it possible to create a volume group from a logical volume instead of a physical volume? If so, are there any pitfalls in doing so?
Use case:
Installing OpenStack Compute on a a system that already has all of the physical volumes assigned to a singe volume group. The nova-volume service requires a separate volume group, as described in the documentation.
This was working but I was trying to remove a logical volume that was home for /usr. I had remove my swap logical volume first so that I could add some of the space to the root logical volume. Once I had enough space on root I copied all /usr files over to root.
Now when I boot my display stops at the init sequence (I think it is the init sequence?).
I need some related information on the following lines I found in an answer:
"A logical partition is a container for a filesystem (or an LVM volume or some swap space or a BSD partition or other kind of volume that isn't a PC-style partition)."
I want to create one extended partition in which I will keep all Xubuntu related boot var root home...
I added a Volume group in Proxmox VE as Storage for KVM VMs. A new Logical Volume will be created for each VM, but in Proxmox VE under The Defined Storage which shows list of created Logical Volumes I see my Logical Volume marked as RAW format. Is this a RAW image or a Logical Volume (LVM)?
hi,
ive setup a partition over my 80gb drive which includes a lvm volume group called vgpool but i forgot to create a boot partition outside of the lvm.
theres still space on the drive, but how do i get the volume group smaller?
inside the lvm are various logical volumes called: usr/var/home/tmp and so on.
i know that the space allocated for the volume group is bigger than all logical volumes
