Thanks. Clear as mud now. lol I'm getting there. Is there a tool
to see if there is enough room to do this before trying it?
pvs, vgs and lvs are your friends here. As long as the free space
reported by vgs is more than pvs reports as the size of the partition you
want to remove, you will be fine.
Although pvmove will also let you know if there isn't enough space for
what you want.
I found something that is a bit annoying here. I have gkrellm running
on my desktop to sort of keep a eye on things. This works fine for the
little part down at the bottom with how much is used and how much is
free. Thing is, the part that shows activity doesn't have anything for
LVM. I have the listing for the individual drives, sdb and sdc, but
nothing for the whole thing.
Is there a way to make this work? I googled but I couldn't find
anything on this one. Well, a few worthless hits that just happen to
have the words on the same page for some reason.
