To my understanding sometimes it is possible to
resize live ext3
filesystems. (No experience myself). In that case
you could simply do
something like this:
resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/VarVol00 2G lvreduce -L2G /dev/VolGroup00/VarVol00
I would still prefer to do this when the disk is
unmounted and checked
(e2fsck -f /dev/VolGroup00/VarVol00). But in that
case you of course get
rid of the partition VarVol00 anyhow.

Last time I tried reducing ext3 was only possible
after
umount and e2fsck -f;
Enlarging ext3 was generally possible on mounted
system, unless
you want to enlarge past some limit (depending on
how fs was created); in that case
umount and e2fsck is also needed.

Everything I have read said that reducing an LVM volume was dangerous because you have to reduce the file system first and that has issues of its own..
I would rather just migrate the data off the one volume to another then all I have to do is extend the volumes which works fairly easily.. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
what is the reason you want to go this direction? wouldn't it be easier to add another disk and allocate the space on that instead of trying to move stuff around and delete other stuff. To me this approach would be less work?
