Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2005 17:50:00 +0200 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.622) X-Archives-Salt: 26fd892b-010e-42e7-bd8d-dfabd9e9d2bf X-Archives-Hash: eb5864c3ce018d58e7fb5c2ced03fb21 Hi Guys, the subject says it all, but i'll go into more detail now, if anyone would be interested in helping. I currently have my system installed on 2 40GB IDE drives. They are in an LVM volumegroup, and the 2 drives are striped. What i need to do is transform this "striped disk cluster" into a mirror. (preferably using the most cheapest and painless method). I kind of know my way around LVM, so i don't really need a _totally_ detailed answer, but i need to know, if this that i am trying to accomplish is a) possible b) what are the steps that i should follow in order to do this? I was thinking like this: use pvmove or something to move all of the pv's from one disk to the other, then reduce the volumegroup (remove the disk eg physical volume from it) add it as a mirror... can someone confirm, if this is theright way to go, or if not, could anyone please suggest how i could accomplish this task... thanks jakub krajcovic -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
