[mythtv-users] I Added two 320 GB hard drives to my system, but I cant use them. LVM Problem.

[Mat Kyne]

My wife told me that we needed to put our entire DVD library on Myth TV. So 
I got two 320 GB drives, and a PCI-IDE adapter and installed the new drives. 
Before this I had  two 200 GB drives set up for dual boot, with 7 partitions 
on hda, with about 120 GB for use in LVM with hdb, giving me a logical 
volume of about 320 GB. What I would like to do is extend the Logical Volume 
to include two  320 GB drives. (one TerraByte - - Wa hoo!).  Here is the 
problem. Everything that I have learned about Linux is because of Myth TV. 
(so I'm not a total Noob, more like a Nubian . . .) When I installed FC4 I 
used the Disk Druid to partition my hdd's. I have no idea how to get this to 
work, I need a recipe, AKA step by step instructions. I have searched the 
lists, and used Google, and I am coming here almost as a last resort. If 
someone could either explaine it to me or point me in the righ direction  
that would be great!

Here is all the information that I think you might need.
