Re: shrinking lvm

Hi Paul,
           I think logical partition  will suffice for oracle installation,

Here is info you asked for

# vgdisplay
 --- Volume group ---
 VG Name               VolGroup00
 System ID

 VG Access             read/write
 VG Status             resizable
 MAX LV                0
 Cur LV                2
 Open LV               2
 Max PV                0
 Cur PV                1
 Act PV                1
 VG Size               38.16 GB
 PE Size               32.00 MB
 Total PE              1221
 Alloc PE / Size       1220 / 38.12 GB
 Free  PE / Size       1 / 32.00 MB
 VG UUID               xmHw2k-SVQS-lnIQ-u0z5-8E9E-vHAy-YEYXj4

# lvscan

Hi list,
I am installing oracle on fc 3, i need to create two partition for oracle .
Problem is I have already allocated to Linux partition (as lvm)
how I can shrink the existing lvm partition and create two extra partion .. i dont know much abt lvm

Are you sure you need to create actual partitions for Oracle, not just additional logical volumes? It would be much easier to do the latter,

Please post the output of:

# vgdisplay
# lvscan
# df

And state where you want to get the extra space from that you intend to "give" to Oracle.

Paul.
