There is no e2fsadm for LVM2. What I tend to do is to reduce the filesystem by a little more than I need, then reduce the LV by the "correct" amount, then resize the the filesystem to fill the LV. It's a little bit of a faff but it avoids any nasty accidents or rounding errors: eg: To remove 2Gig from an LV # resize_reiserfs -s -2300M /dev/vg00/fs # lvreduce -L -2G /dev/vg00/fs # resize_reiserfs /dev/vg00/fs That works for ext2/3 etc as well as reiser, just use the relevant resize command. patrick _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
