Hey, group,
I've got a system installed on a VMware VM. The SAN administrator
allocated me more disk space from the (EMC) SAN and I need ultimately to
create another partition to mount on the filesystem. Two (initial)
questions about this:
What steps do I need to take prior to creating a new partition with
fdisk? (The SAN space, BTW, is connected through VMware.)
The OS is already residing on a logical volume. Is there any compelling
reason to bringing the new partition into lvm (aside from the ease of
resizing it... something I don't anticipate us doing)? Or should I
simply create an ext3 partition and mount that?
Thanks much.
