Lvm

Resize a Logical Volume

• e2fsck -f /dev/VolGroup/lv_home
  • look for errors
• resize2fs -f /dev/VolGroup/lv_home 180G
  • this is the target size
• lvreduce -L180g /dev/VolGroup/lv_home
  • Again, target size
• e2fsck -f /dev/VolGroup/lv_home
  • Verify everything is good
• Next with fdisk delete the old partition you shrunk, and create a new one the correct size. The new leftover space will be usable. Don't forget to change system id (command t, code 8e.)
