Maybe 31GB is a good choise to eliminate the risks of lost the last blocks in the filesystem. > pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 40G /dev/sda2 > > (I chose 40GB to keep it away from the maximum of 60GB so there are no > issues with block sizes/sectors) > > use gparted to resize /dev/sda2 to 40G the same as before > dd to smaller drive > > use gparted to resize /dev/sda2 to maximum allowed > > pvresize /dev/sda2 > lvextend /dev/vg_hornet/lv_root /dev/sda2 > e2fsck -f /dev/vg_hornet/lv_root > resize2fs /dev/vg_hornet/lv_root But... you can use a more simple algoritm make the LV on the new disks resize the old fs to feet the size of the new lv (a little less) dd the filesystem to the new LV resize the new fs as to feet the entire LV Bye Ambrogio -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
