Is there a way to free up some space so I can get some free PE? Right now I have this: # vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name VolGroup00 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 7 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 2 Open LV 2 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 38.22 GB PE Size 32.00 MB Total PE 1223 Alloc PE / Size 1223 / 38.22 GB Free PE / Size 0 / 0 VG UUID 0mB18U-4VRo-1GMC-oKdf-ZndA-slFy-eOQtYD So, it won't let me do this: # lvcreate -L1G -s -n fullbakup /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 Insufficient free extents (0) in volume group VolGroup00: 32 required Ext2online will not reduce size, so the man page says and I also tried it for the fun of it. lvresize won't work either.
