Hi you all. I am in need of assistan, I have an 400 GB HDD on my CentOS 6 Server and I need to create an extra partition on that drive without loosing any data. When I do df -l i get this. Code: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 359G 1.4G 340G 1% / tmpfs 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /dev/shm And when I do this fdisk -l Code: Disk /dev/sda: 400.1 GB, 400088457216 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000da106 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 47598 382322688 83 Linux /dev/sda2 47598 48642 8387584 82 Linux swap / Solaris What i'm intend to do is that I need 280GB extra and create LVM Group for that extra space. This is my dedicated server and I have Solusvm on that server that is a slave server. Can somone please tel me step by step how to do this. To be really honest I am little bit scared to do this without a proper knowledge, I do have search the internet but I would rather have somone who know's this realy good. So I really appreciate all the assistant. Regards Noaptus
