Your install C.D. should have a rescue option which will allow you to mount and unmount your install. Another option by the way, if swap performance is not a key issue here, is to just use a swap file somewhere on your drive to add to your swap space. There is a lot of documentation on that.

I followed the default installation so the entire drive is allocated to the root filesystem and some space was reserved for swap and for /boot. I now need to shrink the root filesystem, but must unmount it first. The problem is I can't unmount the root filesystem. So, I think I must boot from a CD, then modify the size of the filesystem. I checked out a few liveCDs but non mentioned anything about containing the LVM tools or fsprogs utilities. Does anyone know which livecd or how I can resize the root filesystem? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
