Hello, I am about to buy a 60GB SSD to replace my netbook's current 160GB drive and wanted to get some feedback whether the process I am thinking of taking to resize the drives will work properly. So here goes: My volume group in this example is called: vg_taitsvolume The logical volume (root) being resized is: lv_root The physical volume is: /dev/sda2 Current Partition Sizes: /boot - 200M - formatted ext3 swap - 4GB - swap / - 145GB - formatted ext4 There is only ~8GB in use on the / fs Boot into a LiveCD e2fsck -f /dev/vg_taitsvolume/lv_root resize2fs -p /dev/vg_taitsvolume/lv_root 30G lvreduce --size 30G vg_taitsvolume/lv_root --test lvreduce --size 30G vg_taitsvolume/lv_root pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 40G /dev/sda2 (I chose 40GB to keep it away from the maximum of 60GB so there are no issues with block sizes/sectors) use gparted to resize /dev/sda2 to 40G dd to smaller drive use gparted to resize /dev/sda2 to maximum allowed pvresize /dev/sda2 lvextend /dev/vg_hornet/lv_root /dev/sda2 e2fsck -f /dev/vg_hornet/lv_root resize2fs /dev/vg_hornet/lv_root So, will this work? Are there any steps I can take out? I haven't really played with LVM before (at all) so I thought I would come up with my own steps through the man pages and put it to the list to see if anyone has either completed what I need to do, or has any tips. I will be backing up the important files so if something goes wrong it is not a problem, but kind of an annoyance. Thanks, Tait
