I have an Ubuntu 15.10 system. When I installed it, it defaulted to a regular ext(something) boot partition, and an lvm partition with everything else on it.
There now is a bad spot in the lvm partition. fsck with a read check does not find it. I have moved enough data off of it, so it wont show up in a file copy. I will have a new drive tomorrow, intended to replace the old one. The old one is 300 gig, the new one is 1tb. Normally, I would just partition it, make both file systems ext4, copy the files and run grub. The lvm volume is something I dont understand. If there a diskcopy type utility that would do all the work for me? Is there a howto? Can I just make the root an ext4 partition on the new disk and skip the lvm? What would I have to change? I assume grub.conf and /etc/fstab. Anything else? TIA Geoff -- >From my tablet please pardon mistakes and lack of replies. Geoffrey Mendelson 4X1GM/N3OWJ Jerusalem Israel
