lvm2 configuration on the boot disk

[Shashikant Mundlik]

Hi Alfredo,

Normally you can install lvm2 if your system is bootable. If not you need
do following steps.

1. boot with rescue disk
2. chroot to /mnt/sysimge
3. install lvm2 packages
4. create lvm partions

But I am not sure if you can convert existing non lvm root partion to LVM.
That will require reinstall.


Regards,
Shashi
