It will be a bit of a chore, but take a look at http://linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/movefs.html and apply that technique to /home, /opt, /tmp, /usr, /var, and /srv if you actually put stuff in there for web or FTP servers. In your case, there's going to be additional steps necessary, if you want to keep your root file system on the same volume it is now. You'll need to boot the system from something like the installation kernel/ramdisk, and do an offline file system resize, then use fdasd to delete and redefine your partition table so that you can create a second partition that can be given to LVM for parceling out the space to those other file systems you broke out. That's going to be quite a bit of work, and complex, so it might be easier to install a new system using the new scheme, and just copy over the parts that aren't part of the OS. Mark
