You won't be able to migrate the data while it's 'live' without LVM. you'll need to quiesce the system, and move the data from one partition to another. Hopefully, you have a separate partition for the data, if you do, great. you can go down to single-user mode (or just shut off backuppc and apache, depending on how much your data encompasses), then unmount the partition. use 'dd' to copy your data from the old partition to the new one. this is by far the fastest way to move your data; the hardlinks in the backuppc pool kill the performance of any file-level copy tools. use resize_reiserfs (you *are* using reiserfs for your backuppc pool, correct?) to grow your filesystem to encompass the new partition. mount the new partition on /var/lib/backuppc, delete anything extraneous that might otherwise be in there, and move the backuppc tree to the root of that partition (so that /var/lib/backuppc/<whatever> will work). obviously, if your paths are different from mine, adjust as necessary. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
