If I were in your position, I think I would:
- Create a new, 80GB disk using VMWare
Not problem at all
- Partition that disk into your /boot and LVM partitions
How I do that out of the box? I mean should I mount that disk in the VM and partition from there, right?
- pvcreate
- vgcreate
Ok, create physical volume and volume group
- lvcreate the disk structure you want in your new disk, making sure all
LVs are at least a little bigger than the old ones.
Here I get lost, what structure should I create here? I only have one LV lv_root you mean create the same and of course bigger than the old one, right?
- use dd to copy disks from old drives to corresponding old drives
And here I declare myself complete lost, this is the first time I see this command and don't know how to use it
- use resize2fs to expand your file system to the full size of each of the
LVs you created.
- detach old virtual disk from your VM
- reboot, and see if you succeeded
If I forgot something here, hopefully someone else will chime in. The idea is to dump your corrupted LVM structure without loosing its content.
