You will have to resize the filesystem as well. For shrinking: i) shrink the fs ii) lvreduce For growing: i) lvextend ii) grow the fs - Joe Thank you Joe, but you info did not work. All i can get is a non-booting system as a result of trying to resize partitions. The article in LINUXPRO May 2003 page 15 implies that /home /var /usr and / can be resized. Is this just wishful thinking? My system replies to such resizing attempts by saying I need to unmount the partitions first. FAT chance of that. Anyone tried to umnount / recently? Once again any info will be tried and greatfully received.
