Lvm

tchoklat

When I installed SL3.3 the installer used an LVM partition that covers 95% of my 320Gb HDD. I want to resize the partition to 100Gb and move the /home to another partition of it's own.

Can I do this? How please?

As there was no assistance around, I did what 'real' men do! I deleted the LVM after backing up my data to another partition and reinstalled 3.3 with a separate /home directory on another partition. All OK now, though for some odd reason I had real problems getting thunderbird to accept my old profile. Ended up having to use an even older one off an old Windoze backup CD from last year!
