Resizing is always done in two steps, these steps are done in a different order depending whether you are extending or reducing. Extending: i) Resize the LV (lvextend) ii) Resize the filesystem (eg, ext2resize, resize_reiserfs) Reducing: i) Resize filesystem. ii) Resize the LV (lvreduce) There is a tool called e2fsadm provided in LVM1 which performs both of these steps iff you are using an ext2 filesystem. - Joe _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
