Ok, I guess the problem was that when I first created the logical volumes I used pvcreate on the single partition on the disk and not on the whole disk. Any way, what I now did was to create a new partition in the free space and add it to the logical volume. A question: if I had used pvcreate on the whole disk in the first place could I now have used pvresize to take the free space into use without creating a new partition? /markus On 10/01/07, Tom Spec <samag70-ignore@xxxxxxxx> wrote:
