Mark,
OK, but doesn't the same argument apply to non-root file systems? -
don't I still have to resize the file system as well as resizing the LV?
I can see that LVs might be quite convenient spread over multiple
physical drives but I can't see that much advantage on one drive . .
Thanks,
Phil.

I've always recommended not having the root file system on a logical

Subject: lvm and reducing vols/ext3
People,
I have looked around at the docs and googled and it seems if I want to
reduce a root vol/partition I have to:
- boot on an emergency CD
- resize the root ext3 partition
- reduce the lv
Isn't this process just making the exercise more complicated than it
would have been if I didn't have LVs?
Thanks,
Phil.
