My secondary disk drive is only 80GB but it's 80GB that I might as well use. How do I access it? My fdisk shows: Disk /dev/hdb: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 14 9726 78019672+ 8e Linux LVM and lvdisplay shows: --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 VG Name VolGroup00 LV UUID o3BqbP-2EWA-cJgx-UN1q-VD22-uBve-N2yfKe LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 369.47 GB Current LE 11823 Segments 2 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:0 --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 VG Name VolGroup00 LV UUID YB4OiC-IJ6D-wFSQ-9AKa-btPl-0uVd-gf653q LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 2.97 GB Current LE 95 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:1 /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 is apparently my newer big (400GB) drive which holds my filesystem ( / and on down ) including /home because I mounted it and traversed down the directorys. I would like to do the same for this older, small harddisk but don't know what to do with vgscan --mknodes, vgchange -ay or lvscan. (BTW, hdb1 is where my main system boots from so I don't want to mess with that partition. Don't ask....it's ugly) Thanks in advance for any help! Matt
