Hi Keith! It does. Don't forget to shrink your filesystem(s) first. You'll find a whole lot of howtos on the net to achieve that depending on the filesystem you actually use.

I have a pre-configured server using LVM, with one large logical volume using all disk space beyond the /boot partition, and a separate /drbd partition is needed. Normally, I remove LVM and create a /drbd partition after formatting the RAID array. That isn't an easy option here, as the machine is pre-configured with the OS, etc. Am I correct that the analog to a physical /drbd partition under LVM is the creation of a logical volume in a volume group? $ lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 VG Name VolGroup00 The lvcreate command failed, not enough free extents: $ lvcreate -v --size 1g --name LogVol02 VolGroup00 Setting logging type to disk Finding volume group "VolGroup00" Insufficient free extents (0) in volume group VolGroup00: 32 required I'll have to shrink LogVol01 to make room for a LogVol02 on which /drbd will be mounted. Does this sound like the correct way of creating a partition for /drbd in this situation?
