Post subject:  LVM script question
I'd like to use 3 partitions with the create_lvm.sh script. Is that possible. Anybody try that?

I'm running the latest knoppmyth R5E50 (i think).
My primary HD is a 250 PATA
and I have 2 other HD both at 120.

I can't find any examples of using a setup similar. Anybody have experience in this area?

Bump? After 3.5 hours?? Whatever happened to patience, people? Sheesh.

Anyway, you'll want to be sure to go over http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=LvmHowTo and http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... =createlvm. A search for create_lvm will turn up others.
Looks to me like create_lvm works with any number of arguments.

Yes. There maybe some kind of system limit, but the script itself just takes all the partitions listed on the command line and adds them to it's list. I should probably update it not to assume /dev/hda4 anymore.

Suceess!

I backed up my myth backend server and burned the tar files to cd (I wonder if there is a better way than doing that through the terminal?)

Reinstalled the backend (which is tier 1).. then followed the LVM how to, adding all 3 of my partitions as arguments. finished installation. Restored myth and DONE. now my /myth partition has 400 GB of space and 200 hours of average recording time! Nice :D

My only thing I would recommend to others is that the backup feature of the myth does no include the actual recordings themselves. You would have to back up those yourself (which I didn't, but it wasn't anything I'm gonna miss).
