Hi, all.
I've Googled this question quite extensively & before I proceed I
thought I'd ask for an opinion. It's quite a common predicament so
apologies in advance if I'm creating noise.
I have a machine running Fedora 16 X86_64 which is a recent addition &
now I need to use some of the unused space on the HD for another OS
(CentOS). When I originally installed Verne, I just accepted Anaconda's
"replace existing Linux system" so I have this:
# pvdisplay -v
Scanning for physical volume names
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sda2
VG Name vg_sandstar
PV Size 74.04 GiB / not usable 10.00 MiB
Allocatable yes (but full)
PE Size 32.00 MiB
Total PE 2369
Free PE 0
Allocated PE 2369
PV UUID nRaEqV-MTHe-ArbR-OCwh-VKTw-vZjG-gX6phH
so as I understand it, my two viable options are a non-destructive
resize or a clean install & use Anaconda to create a blank partition for
use as the second OS (well, I do have a third: I have a brand new 60GB
USB HD that could be used but I don't really want to go down that road).
The disk is 80GB & I have a 3.91GB swap, a 23.38GB home & root is 46.75.
Total disk space that is actually used is minimal, less than 10 GBs.
Possibly the easiest route would be to do a clean install but I'd really
like to try to see if I can successfully resize it as I've never tried
it before.
Any opinions would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Phil...
