[I posted this question on the nahant list, as part of a larger question.]
I have been attempting to reduce the size of the root partition on a default
install of RHEL ES 4, and I have not been entirely successful so far. The volume
group contains two logical volumes / (LogVol00) and swap (LogVol01).
What I've done is:
1) Booted into rescue mode, not mounting the disk partitions.
2) Issued these commands:
# lvm vgchange -a y
# e2fsck -f /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 4G
# lvm lvreduce -L 4G /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# lvm pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 4.5G /dev/hda2
# lvm lvremove /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
# lvm pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 4.6G /dev/hda2
# lvm lvcreate -L 512M -n LogVol01 /dev/VolGroup00
All this has been successful. However, the problem I have now is with parted:
# parted /dev/hda
(parted) print
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
1 0.031 101.975 primary ext3 boot
2 101.975 19069.343 primary lvm
(parted) check 2
Error: Could not detect file system.
(parted) resize 2 101.975 4813
Error: Could not detect file system.
(parted) print
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
1 0.031 101.975 primary ext3 boot
2 101.975 19069.343 primary lvm
(parted)
parted won't change the partition.
Why? What am I doing wrong?
Any thoughts?
