I'm currently using FC6 with one hard drive formatted with LVM. I was thinking of buying a second larger hard drive just for /home. So that when F7 arrives I can install it without being concerned that everything in /home will get overwritten. My questions are: 1) is this possible with LVM? 2) what is the easiest way of achieving it? 3) if it can't be done with LVM, are there any other ways of doing what I want? Thanks
I would install the drive and configure it for LVM. Don't add it to your present volume. Transfer all your data to this new partition and then mount it under /home This way you now have the drive separate from the OS. Then if your drive gets full again, you can add a second drive to this drives LVM.
This is how I prefer to set up my systems. -- Due to the move to M$ Exchange Server, anything that is a priority, please phone. Robin Laing
