I think that I will follow option1; but what is unclear for me is: how will I access logical volumes from volume group sdb2+sdc1? My idea is to devote sda to the system, so one vg on sda2 with logical volume usr, swap, tmp, opt, var, and use vg sdb2+sdc1 for data, including home. Right now, home is on /dev/mapper/fedora-home and mounted from /dev which is on sdb1. As soon as the new install will be booted, this /dev won't exist no more, because is it created if you boot with the "/" partition on sdb1, for the new system, it will be on sda1 There something there that I do not understand, so I might be unclear myself.... <snip> > On Tue, 2008-01-29 at 12:16 +0100, François Patte wrote: > Timothy Murphy a écrit : > | François Patte wrote: > | > |> I have an fc6 install with LVM and want install f8. > | > |> I have 3 hdd: sda, sdb, sdc. > |> > |> sda has 1 partition: sda1 LVM > |> > |> sdb has 2 partitions: sdb1 ext3 > |> sdb2 LVM > |> > |> sdc has 1 partition: sdc1 LVM > |> > |> sdc1 and sdb2 are in the same volume group. > |> > |> System in living in sdb and sdc and sda is practically free. > |> > |> The root partition / is on sdb1 and all other vital partitions (/usr, > |> swap, /var, /opt, /tmp and /home) are logical volumes on sdc1. > |> > |> My idea is to perform the new install on sda: sda1 will be the root > |> partition /, and build a volume group sda2 for /usr, swap, /opt /tmp and > |> /var; /home will be left where it is. > |> > |> Here begins my problem: I would like, after install retrieve (almost) > |> all files from fc6 install.
