Hello,
my server provider installed Debian 9 stretch 64bit and this is the disk space layout after installation:
https://pastebin.com/E0DHUhrG
The tmpfs and udev filesystems seems not to be using any disk space according to that figures. But they have big quotas?
I would like to have one big LVM volume, around 80% of the disk space and i am expecting i will be tight on disk space on this volume.
In the future will it anyhow limit me to have udev tmpfs so high quota when my main/largest LVM volume will need more disk space in future?
Would be wise to convert everything to LVM so i can resize them easily in future? Here is mentioned that it may not be good idea to convert root partition into LVM.
I see i can use "fdisk /dev/sda" to change /dev/sda1 type from Linux to Linux LVM.
But when reading this page, i am unsure if this LVM change in fdisk is all what i need to do, if i do not need to install some LVM software. apt-get install lvm2 says:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
dmeventd libdevmapper-event1.02.1 liblvm2app2.2 liblvm2cmd2.02 libreadline5 lvm2
Also there is LVM2. What is a difference between Linux LVM type created by fdisk and lvm2 installed by "apt-get install lvm2" ? Thank You for advises what is needed to convert my setup to LVM.
