I already removed some applications that I did not need, but it is still on the edge. Now that there are a lot of updates, I get the complaint of yum that there is not enough free space on /usr. I just bought an additional harddisk which I also needed for other purposes, and would like to reserve part of this new drive for extra LVM space. I have just created a new volume group (VolGroup01) on the new drive, and a logical volume (LogVol01) inside that physical volume group. Can I mount both /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 (which contains the /usr data on the "old" drive) and /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol01 to the /usr mount point? Or can only one logical volume be mounted to a mount point? Aad
