LVM (single HDD) to SW RAID 1 w/o LVM
Posted: 2012/02/15 14:33:45
After running in unsolvable issues with mondorescue (still have NO way to recover), I will try another path to solve this problem.
I'm currendly running the server in question with asingle HDD and LVM (set up in defaukt installtion mode by a colleague). I'm planning to get that system converted in a software raid without LVM.
Is there any howto to get this working? I found this:
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-software-raid1-on-a-running-lvm-system-incl-grub-configuration-centos-5.3
But I'm not sure how to use that for my scenario (OK I can follow that by setting up the second disc as discribed and wihtout configuring it to LVM, but how do I transfer the data from the LVM to the non-lvm partitions?). Setting up the boot parameters should fit, but trasnfering the data with pvmove obviously won't do the trick.
Thanks
