I have opensuse 10.2 installed on an HP Pavilion DV9208nr and have
been using the xfs file system.  I have been having random lockups and
I am converting the file systems to ext3 from xfs.  I have tar zipped
my /var /tmp and /home partitions and then unmounted the partitions.
They are logical volumes in a volume group.  I have already converted
them to ext3 and restored that data, all if fine.  Now, how would I go
about making the ext3 file system on a logical volume from the command
line.  I have been reading the man pages for lvm but I have not found
it yet.  I have been use the yast 2 module for lvm, but some will need
to be made from the command line, like /opt, /usr, and /.

I think I should be looking at using something like mkfs.ext3 with
/dev/VolGroup00/opt00 as the partition.

Still not sure though.

Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
