I'm having a few problems that I hope you'll be able to help me with. First I'll explain what I'm trying to do. I have 2 drives in my computer an 80GB and a 200GB. At the moment everything is on the smaller drive which is using LVM. What I want to do is to have /home on the larger drive and to remove LVM and repartition the smaller one so that I can try out other distros and to put F7 on when it comes out. At my local Linux user group we tried to do a backup of the small drive to the larger one in a tar so that I could then repartition the drive. This failed because it tried to backup /sys, /proc and other folders that couldn't be backed up. I have tried umounting /proc, but get told that Couldn't umount /proc Inappropriate ioctl for device. So, my questions: 1) how can I backup all my data to the larger drive 2) remove LVM
