→LVMs: Removed disk-migration investigation
* Next, the will add a second virtual disk to a VM and migrate /home to its own filesystem.
* On the real system (disk pack), they will add a partition as a PV and grow the root filesystem (minimal risk).
* <strike>They will then migrate a VM from its original virtual disk to a new, slightly larger virtual disk.</strike> - Dropped because (a) it will take too long (close to an hour because the source and target are on the same physical drive) and (b) setting up grub on virtio drives is complex.
{{Admon/note|Recovering VMs|If the students encounter problems in Investigations 1-3 or 5, they can quickly restore their VM disk images from the backups created in Lab 3.}}
** Add that partition as a PV into the existing VG
** Grow the root filesystem to fill the available space (this will provide sufficient space for Investigation 5)
