Even if pvresize doesn't move allocated data, you can do that with pvmove, and you do not need to move everything out of the PV, just the part you are going to truncate (PEs can be specified). I don't remember if pvmove can use the same PV as src and dest; in that case you could avoid the need of an extra disk when your PV is just "fragmented". -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
