Thanks!
Is it possible to create LVM's on already configured red Hat machines
without hurting any data?
Thanks
Anne

Yes, but you need to be using LVM (Logical Volume Management) on the mount
that you want to take a snapshot of. A quick way to tell if your using LVM
is to type `lvs` at the command line. If you are using LVM it will show you
somethin similiar to this.
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy%
LogVol00 VolGroup00 -wi-ao 31.78G
LogVol01 VolGroup00 -wi-ao 1.94G
For more info take a look at this webpage:
