[linux-lvm] Reducing ext3 LV

[Mark Sargent]

Hi All,

new here. I'm using ext3 LVM and want to resize a 75GB LV to 20GB. How 
is this done.? Current data = 5GB. Cheers.

i asked a similar question a couple weeks ago but got no response.
this is how i did it

umount /dev/path/to/lv
e2fsadm -L 20G /dev/path/to/lv

additionally i wanted to remove a disk from the LV so:

pvmove /dev/hdx
vgreduce /dev/hdx

i am by no means an lvm expert.  i joined the list to get help with my
situation, and have been hanging out. maybe this will get you pointed in
the right direction.

good luck

me neither...quick question, though..the HOWTO says, see below, that the 
e2fsadm doesn't exist in LVM2. Were you using LVM1.?

*LVM 2 Caveat
* There is currently no e2fsadm equivalent for LVM 2 and the e2fsadm 
that ships with LVM 1 does not work with LVM 2.
