Greetins,
I have Linux Kubuntu Breezy system running completely on software raid,
LVM2, including root and boot partitions (LILO boot loader). As for some
reasons I found such a structure not very convenient I would like revert
it the following one:
- crucial data on software raid matrix (sda & sdb), so home partition etc.;
- boot partition and root partition on separate hard disk (hde).
My questions are:
1. What is the quickiest and easiest way to perform such a conversion?
2. What is at least the rough sequence of steps to do?
Some details around my current system:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A. current state
|------------ boot
sda --- |------------- root
|--- md0---------|------------- home
sdb--- |-------------- zasoby1
|-------------- zasoby2
boot loader: LILO on LVM2
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
B. required state
sda ---
|--- md0--------|-------------- home
sdb--- |-------------- zasoby1
|-------------- zasoby2
hde6-------------------|--------------- boot
|--------------- root
boot loader: GRUB
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I've already formatted and partitioned hde6. Now I think how to make a
copy of root and finally how to install GRUB so it will be able to see
LVM2 volumes...
Thanks in advance :-)
Kind regards,
Maciej (mslonik)
