Subject: [linux-lvm] How to move /usr from LVM back to non-LVM?
Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2008 16:52:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4814E782.9080805@Media-Brokers.com> (raw)

Hello,

Ok, resizing my /var partition was without incident, so thanks much to 
the replies I got for reassurance...

Now, I have another thing I'd like to do, but it is only incidentally 
LVM related...

When this system was first set up - not by me - they put /home, /usr and 
/var on LVM partitions.

I'm fine with /home and /var, but I'd like to put /usr back as part of 
the / partition...

Has anyone ever done something like this before?

I'm thinking something along the lines of:

1. Boot off of livecd

2. mount /

3. Mount /usr

4. cp /usr to /usr2 on /

5. umount /usr

6. mv /usr2 /usr

?

Thanks for any comments/suggestions/how-to pointers...

Best regards,

Charles
