Logical Volume Creation

[Kurt Wall]

Hi, list,

I want to add an existing disk to Fedora 10's LVM systems. If I 
understand correctly, it looks like I need to do the following:

0) Backup the data on the target disk (/dev/sdb)
1) Create a new physical volume: 
   # pvcreate /dev/sdb
2) Add the new physical volume to the existing volume group:
   # vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sdb
3) Restore the data backed up in step 0

What I'm trying to do is add the disk that contains my /home. So, rather
than adding it to an existing volume group (which I think is the procedure 
I've outlined above), should I instead create a new volume group and then
a new logical volume inside that?

Thanks,

Kurt
