I am using Mandrake cooker and lvm-0.9-3mdk. I recently created lvm group Mandrake with volume 1 = /usr, vol 2 = var and vol 3 = home. vol 1 and 2 are xfs and 3 is reiserfs. I recently attempted to shrink var by 500 meg and then expand usr by 500 meg. This hosed my system as many files in var were lost (although there was plenty of room to spare on var). Also, even though lvscan showed my changes had taken place, the rest of the system still only recognized prior values. Is there a way to do non-destructive resizing with lvm? ===== SI Reasoning sczjd@yahoo.com "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
