add lvm space from a regular partition

Hi,

I have red hat enterprise 4. I would like to add more space on my lvm from the first partition that is not lvm type.

Here's the config

Code:

[root@local ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 73.4 GB, 73406611456 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8924 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/sda2              14        1033     8193150   82  Linux swap
/dev/sda3            1034        2053     8193150   83  Linux
/dev/sda4            2054        8924    55191307+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5            2054        2563     4096543+  83  Linux
/dev/sda6            2564        3073     4096543+  83  Linux

Disk /dev/sdb: 73.4 GB, 73406611456 bytes
128 heads, 32 sectors/track, 35003 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4096 * 512 = 2097152 bytes

I want to delete /dev/sda6 and add it to /dev/sdb (lvm). Is that possible? If yes, can you give me the instructions.

Thanks for any comment you may add.
