Once shrunk I am going to grow the ntfs partition which I know how todo. My problem is most of the howto talk about moving pv to remove pv so forth. I saw one post that said what I am trying todo is voodoo and dangerous but recommend that to move the PE towards one edge of the disk us --alloc anywhere however I have seen other documents that say that is not implemented yet. I hope I haven't lost you guys but if you know what I should I would be greatly in your debt. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD6tJL48JsCLyRVlARAiMuAJ4i3mOV0QkQaFs1axWDZOpRXfFVAgCfbJjp GDdeXvoG0Lcs/gzgwm1Gprk= =24e7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 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/
