I agree, LVM is fine, but use cmd, not Yast. Once I did, adding a 3GB disk, and got the space but rounded to nearest something. Later I removed it again, 3 GB, but did not get the exact same space removed. 3 GB was rounded, this time to another value.....
I finally manage to fix it and via cmd manually set the sizes right (I had the clone base to look in:) but since then I use cmds only. ___________________________________________ Tore Agblad Volvo Information Technology Infrastructure Mainframe Design & Development, Linux servers Dept 4352 DA1S SE-405 08, Gothenburg Sweden Telephone: +46-31-3233569 E-mail: tore.agb...@volvo.com http://www.volvo.com/volvoit/global/en-gb/ -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Michael MacIsaac Sent: den 3 november 2010 15:59 To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Filesystem on several 3390-3 John, You wrote: > Any known problem to define a file system on several 3390-3 (3 Gbyte) We were recently burned and lost an LV on an old SLES 9 SP2 system. The person working on extending the LV was using yast. Now I'm not saying that yast has a bug (and if it did in SLES 9 it was probably fixed years ago), but I have found that working with the LVM line commands is preferable to yast (yast is fine when everything works, but when This also gives the bonus of being cross-distro. and: > I'll admit to not being too up on this, In the "Miscellaneous Recipes" chapter of the Virtualization Cookbooks, different LVM tasks are documented.
