[Solved] Help with LVM?

Hi

How do you configure LVM to linux? How to create logic volume using LVM?

On a new VM system, just install RHEL 5.8 gave 200 gig for / and 10 gig for swap.

Now I want to configure LVM? is that too late, do I need to delete and start all over again ?

See https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/...de/ch-lvm.html.

If you do not wish to reinstall your OS, create a new virtual disk and install LVM on it.
