I have installed Red hat Linux 5.11 with all the necessary patches needed but I have one questions
The partitions and disk space is not right e.g when using df –k
I get this
Code:
Filesystem 1K-Blocks Used Available Use Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 617377040 3332196 582177964 1% /
/dev/sda1 101086 17808 78059 19% /boot
Tmpfs 8148028 0 8148028 0% /dev/shm
I want to create other partitions with disk space such as
/var 160000MB
/tmp 4000MB
/opt 40000 - 200000MB
/usr 4000 MB
Now I know I can use the fdisk command but also there is a LVM (which I have never used before )
Having looked at previous disk partition on other Red Hat Servers
There is something like this and also would like something similar
/dev/mapper/vg-sys-optvol 43 GB
dev/mapper/vg-sys-varvol 2GB
dev/mapper/vg-sys-tmpvol 2GB
dev/mapper/vg-sys-varlogvol 2GB
Please can you advise and assist on this

repartit
REPARTITION(8) System Manager's Manual REPARTITION(8)NAME
repartition - load a partition table
SYNOPSIS
repartition device [partition-file]
DESCRIPTION
Repartition uploads a new partition table for the partitions of device. The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if
given, device otherwise. Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload a partition
or a subpartition table. The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers
are coming from partition-file.
EXAMPLES
repartition /dev/hd0
repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table
Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file. The
latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you.
DIAGNOSTICS
The new table is printed on standard output.
FILES
/dev/hd[0-9]
SEE ALSO hd(4), part(8).
BUGS
The disk must be in use for the changes to stick. The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open.
