Maybe I didn't get it, but can't you just make a new VG and make 2 logical volumes on it, one at /opt/IBM1 and one at /opt/IBM2? (or all 3 if including /opt/IBM ?)

I have a customer that has an odd DASD & directory layout, and we're trying to expand the space, and simplify the directories at the same time... Today they have (not all branches shown): / - root file system - mod 3 - 50% full /opt/IBM - mod 9 - 80% full /opt/IBM1 - mod 9 - 88% full /opt/IBM2 - mod 27- 10% full Their request... Merge /opt/IBM1 and /opt/IBM2 into an LVM with all the space of the mod 9 + the mod 27, in the filetree as /opt/IBM1. At first look, it looks like they can be merged with no overlap. BUT, two of the directories in /opt/IBM2 (the one that's going away) are WebSphere instances, both with lots of hardcoded instances of /opt/IBM2... IF (big if) they will merge without overlap, can I put the new LVM online at /opt/IBM1 (where all the stuff that was on /opt/IBM1 will continue to run). And put a synlink in /opt as /opt/IBM2 that points to /opt/IBM1 (so all the stuff that was in /opt/IBM2 will also continue to run. With the flock of applications and middle ware they have on this machine, I really don't want to have to start from scratch and reinstall everything... Thoughts?
