[06:59] <Madpilot> evening all
[07:19] <Madpilot> Has anyone found ANY up-to-date LVM docs or tutorials online anywhere? everything I find is way out of date, even on our wiki
[07:40] <Flannel> What sort of stuff?
[07:42] <Flannel> Madpilot
[07:43] <Madpilot> Flannel, trying to create LVM /home across two HDDs; the alt installer´s docs aren´t much help, and nearly everything I´m finding on the intertubes is... old.
[07:44] <Flannel> the ibm thing on it does a good job of explaining it.  The concepts haven't changed.  But I can walk you through the alt CD stuff
[07:45] <Madpilot> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-lvm2/?ca=dgr-lnxw02aLinuxLVM2&S_TACT=105AG  <-- this IBM one?
[07:45] <Madpilot> tonight I´m just hacking around; I´m likely going to re-install tomorrow to get everything working & partitioned properly
[07:45] <Flannel> No, thats... newer than the one I'm talking about
[07:46] <Flannel> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-lvm/
[07:47] <Flannel> On the alt CD, go to partitioning, make lvm partitions (you don't want to do the whole disc thing, you want to use partitions as PVs), then go up to the top and do the lvm config, it'll ask if you want to write partition changes, yes, obviously.  Then inside there, you'll make a volume group, add your second pv to it, then partition that.
[07:48] <Flannel> Er, add your second pv to it, then create a logical volume on that, which will be partitioned [ext3]
[07:49] <Flannel> Its pretty straight forward.  I'd suggest remembering to make the names of everything short, since in fstab they all get concated, or at least on dapper.  I guess on hardy it'll all be UUID based.
[07:50] <Madpilot> it´s that 2nd part that I missed on this install attempt - I´ve got the LVM space set aside, but nothing in it
[07:50] <Flannel> Are they formatted as lvm partitions?
[07:50] <Madpilot> Not sure at this point, I´ve been messing around in terminal post-install
[07:50] <Flannel> I've always gone through the installer, but you can add them afterwards too, yeah.
[07:51] <Madpilot> my actual files are safe on the 2nd HDD, which is unplugged, so I´m in playground mode at moment
[07:51] <Flannel> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-lvm2.html is the second to the other one I posted, that talks about commands
[07:51] <Flannel> and that'll be what you need right now
[07:53] <Madpilot> thnx
[07:54] <Madpilot> hadn´t realized there were so many steps, actually. pvolumes, lvolumes, etc etc etc
[07:54] <Flannel> well, you've gotta create stuff on disc, then group them into virtual disks, then partition those virtual disks
[07:55] <Flannel> and yes, I used both disc and disk.  Just be glad I'm not repeating the same terms over and over.  Darn final projects and no sleep.
[07:59] <Madpilot> Flannel, heh. I might actually be getting somewhere now without having to re-install. We shall see.
[08:00] <Madpilot> like I said, playground mode at this point
[08:00] <Flannel> well, I did say the ibm stuff does a good job ;)
[16:24] <Konam> I just saw that in the Help and Support we have the server guide in the desktop :/
[16:26] <Konam> and to think that I made DougieRichardson to go through the trouble of making a PDF for me..
[16:26] <Konam> can someone tell me where are the docs -es versions on LP, I just see the cores but I can't find the different languages versions
