Ubuntu and Clonezilla

[zeta_immersion]

I have installed Ubuntu and clonezilla and 2x250Gb hard drives.

I have formatted the system as "Guided ? Use entire disk and set up LVM" so it created its own partition table and what not (on drive 0)

Now for drive 1 I did the following:

fdisk /dev/sdc (formatted it 8e for LVM)

pvcreate /dev/sdc1

vgextend clone-server /dev/sdb1

and everything went ok, now my question is ... does the server see I big partition 466GB? or still only 240GB (first drive)?

moreover .. if I try to

umount /home/

lvextend -L100G /dev/clone-server/home

resize2fs /dev/clone-server/home

it does not work saying /home/ is not mounted (though I can clearly save to it and access it)

also, would it be possible to know what files I have saved on the second drive? ... I do not want to mess anything up by adding it to the first drive now that I have 2 images on it)

Thank you

So no one is familiar with formatting hard drives and (re)configuring hard disk space?

I'm not familiar with LVM, since I haven't used it since I was on Fedora - and even then, I just accepted it and didn't need to change it or anything.

Sorry. :(

I am still researching it so no biggie, thanks though

You can use the mount and df command to see more information. But very few people outside of the server room use LVM, so don't expect an answer here. I personally use BTRFS own ability to use multiple disks (without LVM) for my DRBL/Clonezilla/PXE server. Even if some people fear to use it, it is stable by now for basic use, it only lack tools and a 100% final disk format (but is forward compatible). I still do backup on DVD for time to time of the important part of the server (and the latest clonezilla images), but I trust this system, it seem to work really well and have cool features compared with LVM2+XFS.
