<div dir="ltr">According to documents, you can convert MBR to GPT without data loss [0] and you can make LUKS conversion in-place [1]. But you can't enable LVM without moving data. Also all these operations have data loss risk all time so getting backup before disk operations is always recommended.<div><br></div><div>[0]: <a href="http://slavisa-jovanovic.com/linux/2015/02/19/mbr-to-gpt.html">http://slavisa-jovanovic.com/linux/2015/02/19/mbr-to-gpt.html</a></div><div>[1]: <a href="http://www.johannes-bauer.com/linux/luksipc/">http://www.johannes-bauer.com/linux/luksipc/</a></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 12:04 PM, Darren Menachem Drapkin via Wylug-discuss <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wylug-discuss@wylug.org.uk" target="_blank">wylug-discuss@wylug.org.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I posted this on Disqus a few days ago to no effect.

I have a computer that I use for most of my work. It runs Slackware. To make it simple, years ago, when I first installed it, I used MBR and reiserfs for the filling system. Since then, I have descovered that LUKS provides encripted partitions, and LVM provides re-sizable ones. I have also found that they also are more in-tune with the linux electric than MBR.<br>
What I want to know is, whether there is a way to go from MBR to GPT with LUKS and LVM and keep my exsisting filling system and data intact?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
