Hi.
I want to make a snapshot from a logical volume and noticed that there must be enough free disk space in the volume group. Actually there is no free disk space left. How do i shrink online /var without losing any data or restore from backup? I do not have physical access to the server.
Specs:
Dell PE SC1430 with a 5/i RAID Controller one RAID 1 array from the Dell RAID controller 2 partitons (boot and LVM) 1 VG 3 LV (swap, /var (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02) and / formatted with ext3) /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02 211G 39G 162G 20% /var
Thank you in advance.
