Ext3 to LVM

[rah_jad]

How to convert swap partition or any other partition from ext3 to LMV or LVM is just a utility which manages hard drives or partitions? If yes, the what is 8e?

swap and ext3 is filesystem.
LVM is partition tools .... like raid device.

8e is one kind of partition ID use to define partition type. example: 82 use for swap 83 use for ext3 ..... etc.

covert partition to LVM would lose data.

example: you want to use sda1, sdb1, sdc1 create one lvm partition.

try pvcreate /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
vgcreate vgname /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
lvcreate -L +1000M -n lvname /dev/vgname

so you create one lvm partition. but all data in sda1, sdb1 sdc1 would lose.

you have to format /dev/vgname/lvname partition and mount into your system.
