Post subject:  Adding LVM to Two Disk Setup

I currently have my hard drives set up like this:

Code:
80 GB Western Digital - Hold's OS
      - /
320 GB Seagate - Main Myth Partition
      - /myth
320 GB Seagate - Backup Myth Partition (rsync transfers everything on /myth to /backup every night)
      - /backup


I want to add two 500 GB hard drives to the setup so that it will look like this:

Code:
80 GB Western Digital - Hold's OS
      - /
820 GB Partition - Main Myth Partition - Existing 320 GB HD + New 500 GB HD
      - /myth
820 GB Partition - Backup Myth Partition - Existing 320 GB HD + New 500 GB HD
      - /backup


How would I go about doing this without losing any data on either and still allow it to be easily upgradeable? I haven't found a guide to doing this particular setup with LVM yet. Also, the 320 GB HD's are currently using xfs (if that matters). Thank for any help.

I followed this under Manual LVM setup and it worked perfectly.

I originally intsalled myth on a SATA 250GB drive, and then added three more 250GB drives using the above link.

It worked great.
