Step-by-step manual to partition HD with LVM

[Stephen Liu]

Hi folks,

I have been googling a while searching for document to partition HD
with LVM.  I found many of them there.  However I'm looking for a
step-by-step manual for Ubuntu-6.06.

During installation I found the guide-partition there but unfortunately
I could not control it to partition HD according to following config


HD - 40G

/dev/hda1 19G approx
VolGroups00
Primary LogVol / ext3 8G
extended LogVol /home ext3 10G
extebded LogVol swap ext3 1G

/dev/hda2 Free space 21G approx.

So finally I install the OS on the whole HD


# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40027029504 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4866 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1        4665    37471581   83  Linux
/dev/hda2            4666        4866     1614532+   5  Extended
/dev/hda5            4666        4866     1614501   82  Linux swap /
Solaris

# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1              36G  2.1G   32G   7% /

devshm                503M     0  503M   0% /dev/shm

/lib/modules/2.6.15-23-amd64-k8/vola


I'm prepared to start again.  Please advise.  TIA

Remark:  The HD shall be for dual boot Linux/Linux
