LAZY MODE: non-LVM 2 LVM - Destroys data?
I currently have my /home as a 'ordinary' device (ie, non LVM'ed). It's slowly running out of disks pace...
Do I _have_ to copy all the info to a empty disk, then create the lv (pvcreate et al)?
(LAZY MODE: It might be in the HOWTO/FAQ, but i couldn't find it with a quick look, so I sent it here instead :)

No, you could just blow away your existing non-LVM partition and lose all
your data. ;-) But if you would like to *keep* your data, the answer is "Yes, you have to copy it all to another filesystem".
