Could you just:
- Create a partition in the space preceding the current partition
- Add the partition to the existing vg
- Allocate those extents to the current lv
- Expand the file system to fill the now extended lv.
I don't even like the idea, I'm just wondering if it would work. I
don't see why this would be any different that allocating extents from
several drives to make one lv / file system...
It works perfectly. I'm doing it all the time.
The original poster said he was evaluating this option too.
