Maybe I've got too involved in this and need to leave it for a while but I'll ask anyway.....
A per the lvm thread I now have a whole new disk that has been lvm'ed. I think I probably want to move all my home directories and other such bits and pieces onto it. I.e. I will have one 'system' disk which has all the OS stuff on it and one 'data' disk which has home directories and anything else which is bascially data rather than programs (such as pictures, vmware guest images, etc.).
So, how do I do it?
If I create a /home directory on my root partition and then mount the new logical volume on /home it means that *everything* I create on that logical volume will appear as /home/<something>. That maybe alright for actual /home directories but doesn't make much sense for other stuff.
Should I:-
Split the new disk into more than one Logical Volume?
Use lots of symbolic links?
Stop drinking so much wine?
I'm stopping now, doing things as root when I'm even slightly inebriated is probably not a good idea. :-)
