I am using SuSE Linux (10) and I am considering expanding the available disk, without resizing an existing partition (which is not easy to do on a VM). Instead, I want to create another virtual disk, and add it in a new LVM volume, which would include the existing disk, and this new one, in a seamless single mount point.

We are using VMware vServer 4, under Lab Manager and Virtual Centre. Does SuSE support LVM in version 10 ?

Thanks :-)
