    Logical Volume help

    I have a separate disk that I mount /home on. I want to be able to add two more disks and have all that space counted as one partition that I then can mount as /home, effectively tripling my space. RAID doesn't interest me at the moment. I understand that LVM is probably the way to go, but I was wondering if anybody knows a URL that can take me step by step through this sort of addition without having to lose any of my existing data?

    Thanks for any help.

    A bit-o reading required.

      Hi and thanks for the link.

      What I manage to read from that is that I have to start out with fresh disks? That means that I lose all the data on the disk I already have. Is there any way to create a logical volume group, etc, using the disk that i have without having to lose all the data and then just add two more disks to it?

      Again, thanks for the help.
