I have opensuse 10.2 installed on an HP Pavilion DV9208nr and have been using the xfs file system. I have been having random lockups and I am converting the file systems to ext3 from xfs. I have tar zipped my /var /tmp and /home partitions and then unmounted the partitions. They are logical volumes in a volume group. I have already converted them to ext3 and restored that data, all if fine. Now, how would I go about making the ext3 file system on a logical volume from the command line. I have been reading the man pages for lvm but I have not found it yet. I have been use the yast 2 module for lvm, but some will need to be made from the command line, like /opt, /usr, and /.
I think I should be looking at using something like mkfs.ext3 with /dev/VolGroup00/opt00 as the partition. Still not sure though. Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
