Re: change LVM system to non-LVM system

I am not sure if it is possible to convert an LVM system to non-LVM. You need to take the backup of the system, re-install the OS with whole disk - HFS option and then restore the data.

Hi,

I don't believe that there is a way to do this.
You would have to re-install the operating
system from scratch.

There is however a way of migrating from NON-LVM to an LVM using the 'lvmmigrate' command.
