I did not catch the beginning of this thread so I don't know if this is the information you want. I'm guessing that you have this new partition that you want added to your existing volume group. First you can go to: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ Here are the steps as I see them: pvcreate /dev/hdd4 (?) vgextend my_volume_group /dev/hdd4 umount /dev/my_volume_group/my_logical_volume resize2fs /dev/my_volume_group/my_logical_volume mount /dev/my_volume_group/my_logical_volume /my_mount_point Hope that helps. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
