Ok guys. Here is what I've done so far. 1 I created Linux partitions on the empty spaces on each drive (hda2, hdb2 and hdd2) 2 Then I ran pvcreate on each /dev/hdx2 3 Then I ran vgcreate vg01 /dev/hda2 4 Then I ran lvcreate -l4 -nlv01 vg01 5 Then I ran vgextend vg01 /dev/hdb2 and vgextend vg01 /dev/hdd2 And now I don't know what to do next. I wanted to mount the 25 GB on /drif which I already had created. But how? And maybe more important, did I do right so far? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Konosky" <TerranAce007@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "For users of Fedora Core releases" <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 9:16 PM Subject: Re: 3 hard drives as 1 > Ragnar Wiencke wrote: > > >Hi there guys. > > > >I am installing FC2 with 3x10GB hard drives.

I am currently using a 75gb LVM on /dev/hda and a 35gb LVM on > /dev/hdb, which gives mes a "/" filesystem of 110gb.
