It helps during their creation, rather than just accepting the defaults, to give the LVs meaningful names. But even if you don't:
# df -H Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvroot 31G 12G 18G 39% / /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvtmp 195M 55M 131M 30% /tmp /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvvar 21G 1.2G 19G 6% /var /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvhome 185G 40G 136G 23% /home /dev/hda3 518M 46M 446M 10% /boot
Where's the difficulty?
OK. But what about a drive that is already partitioned with live data on it. Is it easy to make that work with LVM, or does it mean I have to do a fresh installation to use LVM?
