add disk to LVM
hello,
Please bear in mind that I don't know what I'm doing.
It looks like when I installed debian on this PC I requested a LVM.
I'd forgotten about that.
root@pumpkin:~# df -h

/dev/sdb1 is one whole disk ext4 partition that I usually unmount and
mount in a directory in /home to save files in. I should probably have
added it to fstab.
What would be the way to do that using LVM ?
I was concerned to be able to take out sdb and put it in another PC.
Would the sensible thing be to make sdb1 part of the logical group, make
a new logical volume and make a link to that from a directory inside
/home or to extend vg-home? I was thinking that if I extend home you
wouldn't know if some files were on one disk and some on another.
Or how would I move the whole of /home to /dev/sdb1 and make it as new
logical volume mounted on /home?
