As for some reasons I found such a structure not very convenient I would like revert it the following one: - crucial data on software raid matrix (sda & sdb), so home partition etc.; - boot partition and root partition on separate hard disk (hde). My questions are: 1. What is the quickiest and easiest way to perform such a conversion? 2. What is at least the rough sequence of steps to do? Some details around my current system: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A. current state |------------ boot sda --- |------------- root |--- md0---------|------------- home sdb--- |-------------- zasoby1 |-------------- zasoby2 boot loader: LILO on LVM2 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ B. required state sda --- |--- md0--------|-------------- home sdb--- |-------------- zasoby1 |-------------- zasoby2 hde6-------------------|--------------- boot |--------------- root boot loader: GRUB +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I've already formatted and partitioned hde6. Now I think how to make a copy of root and finally how to install GRUB so it will be able to see LVM2 volumes... Thanks in advance :-) Kind regards, Maciej (mslonik) -- GG: 3321025 Skype: maciej_slojewski
