I guess I'll have to test it in a VM, I don't have any LVM stuff on the Fedora 24 computer. Growing an LV and file system online is trivial. All the file systems support this. I could see the tool prevent changing partitions on a drive that has an active/in-use file system such as rootfs because partition changes basically require a "reset" of everything above in the stack and that means everything has to be inactive first. And for shrinking, only Btrfs supports online shrink. Ext4 has to be umounted to shrink, and XFS doesn't support shrink. It might be that blivet-gui is greying out all the options because all space in the VG is full. To make changes implies something has to be shrunk in order to grow something else, OR a PV needs to be added to the VG first to create more space in the VG to only grow something. And the shrink can't be done for reasons explained. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
