Hi, I am a newbie to linux and I have XP and FC3 on my 30GB HD. I have searched through internet to find out how to reduce logical Volume based on LVM2, but as my situation is quite different hence could not find out any solution. I have total 3 Primary partions and one extended partitions. first 3 primary paritions are NTFS(XP),FAT32(data) and NTFS(data) respectively. Extended partition contains two partitions, linux boot and linux LVM. Linux LVM contains one Group Volume which contains two Logical Volumes. One Logical Volume has / root file System and other Logical Volume has SWAP space. Here is the ouput of fdisk -l and contents of /etc/fstab fdisk -l ======================================================================= Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3648 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 637 5116671 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 638 1274 5116702+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda3 1275 2546 10217340 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda4 2547 3648 8851815 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 2547 2559 104391 83 Linux /dev/hda6 2560 3648 8747361 8e Linux LVM ======================================================================= cat /etc/fstab ========================================================================== # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_ntfs_c ntfs ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0 /dev/hda2 /mnt/win_fat32_d auto ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0 /dev/hda3 /mnt/win_ntfs_e ntfs ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0 ================================================================================ Now I want to free some space from the linux LVM(hda6) and create a FAT32 partition as hda7. So how to reduce that LVM? one more questions my /boot parition is /dev/hda5 but in fstab it shows it as LABEL=/boot so how is that? Thanks. -ajeet. _______________________________________________ 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/
