Hi,
After spending today testing at work I have suddenly become a fan of LVM
that gets around this problem

All my futher installs (home work) are going to be using LVM including
some servers we are setting up

Yes LVM would have made it easy to add space. But I doubt you can
convert an existing filesystem to a LV inside a PV.
I still think Steve's idea (moving /usr or /var to the space freed up by
shrinking swap) would be the best fix.
By all means use LVM on new installs.

as required. The partions can be formated to what ever your favourate file
system.
This is a better link as it explains the history and the benfits

LVM is another layer of indirection for disk storage. Allows you to
expand the LV a filesystem lives on, without having to shuffle
partitions on disk like the OP. Most
Hello,
I want to set up a server for fun and education. That would be easy, if I did
not want it to only be accessable from the host system (my general-use
machine). So for example, if it was a web server, a URL for a page on it may
be http://sanitarium/nuts.html; I guess that I would setup

That's exactly what I want, but a *virtual* server, so I can play with
it (almost) as if it were a separate machine, and because I want to
set up more services later (such as SSH) and don't want to make major
changes to my system.

Were you using vmware, when configuring via the vmware-config.pl
command, you would get what I believe you are looking for by choosing
host only as the network type. This (first result in google for
vmware-config network options) might be of interest:
