I have a 40G disk partitioned as follows, with no empty space:
/dev/hda1 - Mfgr's diagnostics
/dev/hda2 - WinXP system
/dev/hda3 - Lunix /boot
/dev/hda4 - Extended
/dev/hda5 - WinXP data
/dev/hda6 - LVM physical volume
- /home
- /opt
- /usr
- /usr/local
/dev/hda7 - FAT32 shared by WinXP and Linux
/dev/hda8 - /
/dev/hda9 - swap
I've discovered that space on / is a bit tight, so I'd like to change
things around so that I have:
/dev/hda6 - LVM physical volume
- /home
- /opt
- /usr
- /usr/local
- /
- swap
/dev/hda7 - FAT32
Is this possible without reinstalling? If so, how?
I think so (thanks to LVM)
First disable swap space (in fstab and reboot)
Convert /dev/hda9 to pv (pvcreate)
Extend the LVM "volume group" by adding the new PV
vgextent
Create the new / in the LVM (hope you have enough place)
lvcreate, mke2fs
Copy file (from old / to new /) from CD rescue
change from old / to new / (edit fstab and grub.conf)
Convert /dev/hda8 to pv (pvcreate)
Extend the LVM "volume group" by adding the new PV (vgextent)
Create a new lv for swap
lvcreate, mkswap
Enable the new swap space (edit fstab)
But, first of all : make a backup !
You should have
/dev/hda6 - physical volume
/dev/hda7 - FAT32
/dev/hda8 - physical volume
/dev/hda9 - physical volume
LVM vg (hda6+kda8+hda9)
- /home
- /opt
- /usr
- /usr/local
- /
- swap
