Hi, Resizing logical volumes: Task-1: Resize 'logvolopt' to 20Gb #lvresize -l 20GB /dev/volgroup001/logvolopt #lvdisplay #df -h resize the file system to update the inode table on the logical volume to account for new storage in 'logvolopt' #resize2fs -p /dev/volgroup001/logvolopt Note*-You may resize the file system online if the following are met: a). 2.6xkernel series b). must be formatted with ext3 format. Task-2: Shrink(resize) 'logvolopt' to 15GB #lvresize -L 15GB /dev/volgroup001 /logvolopt #lvdisplay #df -h for online #resize2fs -p /dev/volgroup001 /logvolopt #df -h Note*- Check disk utilization prior to shrinking to reduce the risk of losing data.
