Perhaps this is more obvious to others - but it is not obvious to me after reading the howtos and docs. The Docs - common tasks section has part of my answers, but it lacks what I believe to be a commbined two step example. Right now, I have a single /var/foo implimented as an LVM vol using reiserfs. It turns out - I allocated too much space to it. I now need a /var/bar. I'd like to re-allocate or shrink /var/foo by say 20G, and give it to /var/bar. The "How To" do this two step process is not very clear in the docs. I'm quite able to shrink and expand /var/foo - at will. My confusion is - now that I have shrunk it - reallocate the space I just got back? What am i not reading correctly? Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
