Hello list
I'm starting to play with lvm with a single HD, but before, I would like to
know what are the best ways to configure it for future growing, I mean, if
the disk is full and then I add a second HD, what could I do without losing
data, resizing logical volumes, etc.
TIA

I have done exactly what you are talking about with my first attempt
at LVM. It is easy and just look at the LVM documentation.
I moved to LVM, copied data from non-LVM drives, converted the old
drives to LVM and then added them to the LVM in just a few hours.
Most of the time was taken up with transferring data and rebooting the
computer (changing wiring).
For a start.

The only thing that had me stumped was the resizing the file system.
man resize2fs
Saved the day.
I also played with the
Desktop > System Settings > Logical Volume Management.
I don't have all the details here as I did this at home.
I won't setup data drives without LVM again.
