[rahulbaheti86]

Hello Friends,

i want to know that if i install linux on to my pc with
SWAP
/
/ boot
as partition and after that i want to convert them to LVM2 type configuration
how can i do that
i want to create a system having logical volumes from that system without reinstalling

these partitions should convert into two LV's
LV 0 for root
LV 1 for swap

both in one volume group



Please reply as soon as possible

while installing the linux , it will ask for custom layout of filesystem , at that time itself you can make the root partition as a volume group
