Hi,
Being brandnew to OVM until now I am pretty happy with it.
I use it for home use just to feed my diskless mediaplayer and the mobile devices of the family. So it is not a really big or exiting thingy.
Installed ovm on a 80 GB disk and the datadisk is ext4, 1 TB. 3 partitions are on it (of which 2 will be removed later on) but the biggest 1, over 800 GB is set and used bij OVM. Put a share on it and everybody is happy.
Now I added this other 300GB disk to the system. OVM does see it and I can mount it. However I cannot find how to use this LVM thing (installed lvm2 plugin) to add the 300 GB to my existing logical volume of 800 GB? OVM shows 1 volumegroup of the 1TB. Also lvm shows just 1 disk (in the lvm part of ovm I mean. In the physical disks part of OVM I see all disks just fine). and I cannot add another one. The dialog I see when I push the add button seems pretty useless. The Log. volume tab shows 3 volumes, 1 for each partition.
That biggest partition is mounted to /media/verybiganduglynumber. Also I added a symlink /storage for my (ssh) convenience. I would like to have these 300 GB partation on the 3rd diskadded to the volume of that 800GB disk to make it 1200 GB.
Am I thinking wrong or doing something wrong?
Can I create a new lvm without loosing the data or something?
Is there a nice tutorial on how to configure this lvm thingy and the do's and dont's?
Am not interested in raid set-up. As said it is home usage and just entertainment.
A back-up now and then is safe enough
Cheers and THIA.
