[solved] LVM extend over multiple hard drives

sand_man · 2009-08-12 05:41:01

I have a 500GB hard drive with several LVM logical volumes on it.

A couple of these partitions are getting full and I want to know if I bought another hard drive can I extend a partition across from one hard drive to another?

I hope that makes sense.

edit:
Even if that's not possible, I suppose I can just move the whole partition over to the new hard drive and extend one of the other volumes on the old one to fill up the rest of the space.

edit again:
Sorry I just answered my own question.

# pvcreate /dev/sdb1
# vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sdb1
