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
Format lvm2
Metadata Areas 1
Metadata Sequence No 3
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
ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00' [37.12 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01' [1.00 GB] inherit
# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

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.
