Subject: [Devil-linux-develop] HOWTO harddisk support
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2002 02:12:39 +0100
Sender: dev...@li...
X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.79 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.17-4GB i586)

HOWTO harddisk support:

1) create _one_ partition on the harddisk you want to use 

   The result ("fdisk -l") should look like this:
      Disk /dev/hdc: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 8126 cylinders
      Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
 
         Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id
 System
      /dev/hdc1             1      8126   4095472+  8e
 Linux LVM

2) create a physical volume (PV) from the partiton
create in step 1.:
      # pvcreate /dev/hdc1

3) create a volume group (VG) named "devil-linux" using
the PV /dev/hdc1 
      # vgcreate -s 8M devil-linux /dev/hdc1

   (increase the PhysicalExtentSize of 8M to make use
of more than 512GB)

4) now we are going to create the "partitions"
(=logical volumes)
   each is optional, so just create the ones you need

    * swap:
        lvcreate -C y -L 256M -n swap devil-linux
        mkswap /dev/devil-linux/swap
    * log (/var/log):
        lvcreate -L 512M -n log devil-linux
        mkreiserfs -v 2 /dev/devil-linux/log
    * spool (/var/spool):
        lvcreate -L 512M -n spool devil-linux
        mkreiserfs -v 2 /dev/devil-linux/spool
    * squid (/var/squid):
        lvcreate -L 512M -n squid devil-linux
        mkreiserfs -v 2 /dev/devil-linux/squid

5) save your configuration (so you have a least one lvm
backupfile)
      # save-config

Now reboot to test if all logical volumes get mounted
correctly.

Comments welcome.

PS: Because of a mismatch in the sysvinit system no
filesystems
get currently unmounted on reboot. So take care for now.

Small typo in my last followup

The "-C y" makes the lv swap contiguous, _NOT_ really needed
I guess.

add 4)

* tmp (/var/tmp): 
   lvcreate -L 512M -n tmp devil-linux 
   mkreiserfs -v 2 /dev/devil-linux/tmp

Change the size of the lv's according to your needs.
The "-C y" makes the lv swap contiguous, really needed
I guess.
