 Hi.
 I want to make a snapshot from a logical volume and noticed that there must 
 be enough free disk space in the volume group. Actually there is no   free

 How do i shrink online /var without losing any data or restore from backup? 
You can't shrink ext2/ext3 filesystems online. You'll have to schedule a
downtime.

Another solution is to remove and use a file for swap (swapoff ... &&
lvremove ...), or reduce it (swapoff ... && lvreduce ... && mkswap && swapon).
Hi.

Is it possible that i log into the server with ssh and umount only /var and then resize the logical volume?
