Post subject:  LVM Problem - not getting full drive space to show
Following the instructions on the KnoppMyth Wiki for setting up LVM, I'm running into a snag.

After getting to step 7, I'm running into trouble. I run out of drive space after copying over the contents of /myth to the newly created LVM called "vg"

After doing a 'df' I get
Code:
mythtv@mythtv:~$ df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1              3797912   1981160   1624376  55% /
/dev/hda3             10505464        24  10505440   1% /cache
/dev/hda4            140876548  21459328 119417220  16% /myth
/dev/vg/myth           8182980   1225756   6957224  15% /mnt/hdb1
mythtv@mythtv:~$
indicating my 300GB hard drive really looks like an 8GB hard drive. Something got hosed up, but not knowing what I'm doing (other than following directions) - I don't know how to fix it.

I have Webmin running and could do the LVM work there, I suppose - again if I knew what I was doing.

Suggestions?

This is a good read on LVM:

http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/LVM ... index.html

It describes how it works and the various steps surrounding it. With it you should be able to find out where you went wrong and how to fix it.

I'd do it over, but stop earlier in the process and see if /mnt/hdb1 is 300gb or only 8. If it's only 8, then maybe something in the BIOS is wrong, or you've got the drive jumpered incorrectly?
Just thinking with my windoze/DOS hat on, as I'm not up to speed on Linux yet. Maybe take a WinME boot diskette and do an FDISK and see if that sees the whole drive.
