ATM my /home mounts a volume group which holds partitions located on two different physical drives, one IDE and one SATA. If I wanted to swap the IDE drive for a new SATA drive, what would happen to the data held in /home?
For example, if I remove the IDE volume from the group, will all the data be consolidated onto the remaining SATA volume, during the process of removing that volume?
I'm not sure that the LVM YaST module is so good to do this. Better use pvmove command, so it moves the data away from the IDE part. Or, you can add your new SATA, create a new PV there, add it to the home volume, and then use pvmove. Then remove the IDE PV from the volume. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
