Create a physical volume on sdb2: # pvcreate /dev/sdb2 Add sdb2 to Volume Group VolGroup00: # vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sdb2 Get details of LogVol00 (particularly size in extents (LE)): # lvdisplay /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 Create LogVol01 with same size (n): # lvcreate --extents n --name LogVol01 VolGroup00 That should do it. The default LogVol00 won't have any "special" options and will fill the original partition sda1, so this procedure should result in what you're after. However, do you really want a separate logical volume rather than extending LogVol00 to make it bigger? Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
