closedconvert disks to LVM
0%
Description
We have certain machines that still are not set up with LVM. If possible without reinstalling, a conversion to LVM with our usual parameters should be applied.

What machines are targeted by this issue ?
Updated by Alexander Werner about 10 years ago
Conversion to LVM is very dangerous without reinstalling and generally not advisable, as all files need to be copied to the newly created LVM-partitions.

I'll do this.
We need to schedule downtime for the servers (one by one) and boot them in rescue mode.
Please let me know if there are any preferred times when I can take the machines offline.

Thanks a lot, Alin! Robert and Alex told me it might be risky to do so
in any case, so we better should wait until we reinstall. What do you
think? I lack experience here...

- Status changed from New to Closed
After talking with floeff, we will only convert to lvm when reinstalling.
