Reply-To: LVM general discussion and development List-Id: LVM general discussion and development List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format="flowed" To: LVM general discussion and development 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
