resize LVM partition
Hello,
I have a new Suse 9.2 server running and I want to learn how to work with LVM properly before I put the box into production. I have an LVM /tmp partition of 1.0 GB (did it intentionallyl to practice resizing) that I want to reduce. What are the proper steps to go about doing it? If someone could point me to a website or give me some good tips, I would appreciate it. Thanks. |
Here are some generic instructions and proper steps to resizing LVM partitions, just plug in or change how your setup differs from this one, etc:
The example given would be for their /tmp directory giving them 4 more GB of space: Code:
sudo umount /tmp |
Cool......
Thanks. |
Hi,
I know this thread is really old, but I just tried reducing a logical volume with the command: Code:
lvreduce /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 --size <can't remember what size I reduced to> I'm really not sure what to do since I don't have too much experience with logical volumes. I can boot and login with the rescue CD or login as root after I get these errors, so all is not lost, but I do have a lot of data on these volumes that I absolutely need to recover so you can understand that any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. |
