Ok thanks all <br>
<br>
I tried with a bit of RTFM and tadaaaaaaa... lost my data... <span
class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span>I know.... don't say
anything....<br>
I eventually restarted from scratch, and added bits of partition here
and there that add up nicely to a 420 GB LVM formatted in XFS, and it
works fine and fast.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi there Might be a simple question as usual: I have 3 discs in LVM,
2 are ext3 1 is XFS. I'd like to reformat the ext3 to XFS and add the
third one to my volume. I was wondering if I need to redefine
everything in the LVM or if it will just pickup the same partitions
with the new filesystem (XFS) and be happy with it ?

<pre wrap=""><!---->Hi,
I'm not sure what you are asking. My guess is that you have three
physical volumes in one volume group? That essentially gets you the
space of all three added together. You can allocate the space to logical
volumes as you wish and then treat the LVs as physical disks,
partitioning them and formatting them as you require.
The big thing about LVM is that you can resize the LVs on the fly (and
then adjust the PT and filesystems as necessary).
Cheers,
Cliff
