[linux-lvm] help on pvcreate usage

[Sathiamoorthy Balasubramaniyan (ext_TCS)]

Hi all,
I have 2 external disks connected to my suse 7.0 box :
sdb 80GB (has 4 partitions)
sdc  8GB (has 3 partitions)
I need to increase the size of the 3rd partition, i.e sdc3, of the disk sdc
by borrowing some space from one of the free partitions,ie, sdb4 of the disk
sdb.

 Iam not sure whether i can do this by LVM. My question is:
 Can i use the command pvcreate /dev/sdb4 without disturbing the data on
other partitions in the disk sdb ?

Thanks in Advance,
Bala Sath
