I am reading a lot on LVM, and it seems that I have a small doubt. I found this on tldp HOWTO on LVM:
> root on LVM requires an initrd image that activates the root LV. If a kernel > is upgraded without building the necessary initrd image, that >kernel will be > unbootable. Newer distributions support lvm in their mkinitrd scripts as well > as their packaged initrd images, so this >becomes less of an issue over time. I am not able to understand this but will it affect me on debian? Also while I am on the partitioner page on the debian-installer, there is one choice like: "Guided: Use entire disc and setup as LVM" Now since I am doing a dual boot and windows is already installed, I feel I cannot use this option as it will wipe the partition used by windows. Can I set LVM using some other method? > ravenclaw# lvextend --size +1G --resizefs /dev/ravenclaw/chroots > Extending logical volume chroots to 13.00 GiB > Logical volume chroots successfully resized > resize2fs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014) > Filesystem at /dev/mapper/ravenclaw-chroots is mounted on /srv/chroots; > on-line resizing required > old_desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 1 > The filesystem on /dev/mapper/ravenclaw-chroots is now 3407872 blocks long. > > ravenclaw# df /srv/chroots > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on > /dev/mapper/ravenclaw-chroots 13286512 4632220 7966824 37% /srv/chroots > > So you can see the size increased by 1GiB and we didn't even have > to unmount the filesystem--it all happened online with no > interruption in service.
