Hello Suse People, and Merry Chistmas to you all.
I have decided to install SuSE 10. This time around I want to use LVM to manage my partitions. Tired of running out of space. Having trouble setting up my partitions. If I accept my present partition table I can create an LV and put those physical volumes into it.
However, I want to delete one and change others. So when I do that I can't create the LV. It tells me I have to create a partition, do not format it, and make sure it is designated 0x8e. Must have done that 50 times. It will not pick up the other PV's.
I have read and followed the admin manual over and over. Downloaded some howto's from the web after doing google searches, and I cannot make this thing do what I want. Could it be a YAST problem???
Anyway, if anyone can give me a tip or two and/or direct me to a document for Dummies I would be very grateful.

Hmm, recently I was palying installing gentoo. On their site there is very good article how to install it on LVM, i.e. using commandline tools to create volumes, add them etc. Cheers Sunny
