Hello everyone, I'm trying to set up an LVM on my File sharing server. The server has ubuntu 14.04 lts 64 bit running on a pentium dual core E2140 @ 1.60Z GHz with 1gb of memory (will be getting upgraded to 2 gb). The server is also running the latest version of Gnome. For drives right now I have 7 drives in the server:
Model: ATA IC35L04AVVA07-0
Size: 31.50 GB
Path: /dev/sda
File System: NTFS
Model: ATA IC35L04AVVA07-0
Size: 31.50 GB
Path: /dev/sdb
File System: NTFS

Path: /dev/sdc (this is the OS hard drive)

Path: /dev/sdd

Path: /dev/sdg
File Systems: sdg1 - extended New Partition #1 - lvm2 pv
I have no cd roms in the tower and no usb flash drives to do a live cd boot. what I want to do is first setup the group with sdd and sdg and move the files from the other drives to it (except the os drive) then I want to add the other drives to the group making it act as a drive with a little over a TB is there any way to do this without having to do a clean install or boot from a live cd? (I really don't want to do a clean install it takes a long time to get everything running correctly) if any other info is needed please let me know and I will get it for you. Thank you for your time and help Christopher J. Crandall
