Hey everybody,

I've currently got a 3 node Proxmox cluster running with CEPH and all is working well. I want to move my journals to my SSD storage and was looking into resizing the partitions that have been created.

Looking into /var/lib/vz, I only have a couple of templates or iso's I've downloaded, I don't see anything else in there. For simplicity sake (since the directory is LVM on top of an MD device) can I just erase the entire partition and recreate it?

Looking at fdisk, I have as follows:
/dev/sda1 * 4096 40962047 40957952 19.5G fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda2 40962048 43057151 2095104 1023M fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda3 43057152 937695231 894638080 426.6G f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 43059200 937695231 894636032 426.6G fd Linux raid autodetect

sda1 is /
sda2 is swap
sda3 is extended partition
sda5 is md5 with LVM on top

I'd like to wipe sda3 and sda5, totally killing the RAID and LVM setup, and set sda3 to smaller RAID drive, with sda4 my CEPH journal.


Does anybody see anything wrong with this? Or have any suggestions?

Cheers,
Eric
