Re: LVM question

[Gabe Granger]

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, i did the following resize_reiserfs -s-14G /dev/mapper/onboard--sata-static Which finished saying "resize_reiserfs: Resizing finished successfully." But when I then tried to resize the LV using  lvreduce -L -14G /dev/mapper/onboard--sata-static I get the following error Volume group mapper doesn't exist What have I done wrong?

I want to shrink LV /dev/onboard-sata/static by 20GB then extend LV /dev/onboard-sata/home by 20Gb.  I'm using reiserfs and not sure how I should correctly resize these volumes.  what is right way to do this? For the reducing, go here: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/reducelv.html (Go down a bit until you see the section for reiserfs) For the extending go here: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/extendlv.html (Again, do down for Reiserfs) Later, Mark
