Re: Resizing an LVM volume to make way for XP install?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




1. I can't figure out how to do it (LVM says I need to unmount /home and
it can't do that since /home is in use).

Change to the single user mode. As root, run "telinit 1". It is
preferable to do this from the CLI. You can then unmount /home.

Hi Mikkel!

(MLUG member, right?)

But once I've unmounted /home, how do I run the LVM tool? :)

2. I'm a-feered that /home being in a LV means that if I resize it, I'll
have free space in a logical partition - and that XP won't/can't be
installed in that logical free space.

So.... suggestions?

I don't know enough about LVM to help you with #2. If it were just a
logical partition, I would use gparted, but I don't know how it
would handle a LV...

Tried that. gparted doesn't see the insides of an LV. Just sees two partitions - boot and 'the other one' (/).
