Reducing size in LVM
 

Hey guys, how do you reduce a already existing partition with LVM without re-formating..

what filesystem type is it?

its ext3

for an ext3 under LVM, I have used this in the past: http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/...readId=1160556

Is this procedure same with increasing the file system?

Hello,

A very usefull user guide to LVM

Kind regards,

Eric

increasing, I use lvresize to increase the parition (lv) and then resize2fs to increase the filesystem.

Hello SBNYou want to reduce the size of an ext3 file system on an LVM volume? Lots of places give that information.

You want to change the size of a partition that is used by LVM (it is an LVM physical volume). You can't; you have to move the LVM data somewhere else, delete the partition and make a new one etc.
