It's easy to add disk space with VMware, yes. But then you have to utilize that disk space... either by creating and formatting a new partition, or (what I want to be able to do) resize an existing LVM partition. But since that requires unmounting the file system on thepartition, it would be kinda tough to resize one big / Unless there's away to temporarily add that disk to another VM, resize the partitions, and then re-mount it in the original VM.
Assuming VMWare: 1) shut down the VM 2) extend the virtual disk or add another 3) restart the VM 4) if extended: "lvextend /dev/vgwhatever/lvol -L <new_size>" if new vdisk: "fdisk /dev/sdb; pvcreate /dev/sdb1; vgextend vg00 /dev/sdb" "lvextend /dev/vgwhatever/lvol -L <new_size>" 5) "ext2online /dev/vgwhatever/lvol" 6) done. Well, that's it in a nutshell. Gregory -- Gregory K. Ruiz-Ade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OpenPGP Key ID: EAF4844B keyserver: pgpkeys.mit.edu
