Another basic question regarding the use of lvm. If I have traditionally
partitioned harddrive running debian Etch, can I make those partitions use
lvm without loosing any data? I have been reading the HOWTO at
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ and it does not mention whether all
these commands vgcreate etc., work destructively or non-destructively.
Any ideas?
thanks
