Hello guys,<br><br>my scenario is following<br><br><ol><li>I have LVM group named &quot;system&quot;</li><li>I have a logical volumes </li><ul><li>system/root , ext3 mounted as / (20GB)<br></li><li>system/swap, swap</li><li>
system/home, ext3 mounted as /home (431GB)</li></ul></ol>I need to shrink system/home to 80GB (currently there is 57GB used) and use free space to create another logical volumes.<br><br>My scenario is <br><br><ol><li>reduce ext3 fs size to 80GB by using resize2s</li>
<li>reduce system/home size by using lvreduce</li><li>create another logical volumes</li></ol>Questions<br><br><ol><li>How can i be sure that i will shrink ext3 to exact size 80GB and that the same will lvreduce do? I do not want to cut from ext3 filesystem if i will reduce logical volume too much</li>
<li>Can you please send me commands to achieve 1) and 2) part of my scenario?</li><li>Or can i just use lvreduce and my ext3 will shrink automatically?</li><li>Do i need to umount system/home when resizing?</li></ol>Thanks in advance!<br>
