Hi All,
I need some help i have a 500GB disk which when i installed F12 i selected the entire HDD to be used by LVM.
I don't need so much HDD for the LVM and I want to shrink the LVM PV to say 300GB and use the rest to install windows to play my games.
I have done the below.
1) Rebooted with Fedora 12 in Rescue mode
2) e2fsck /dev/mapper/vg_fa-lv_root
3) resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg_fa-lv_root 275G
4) lvresize -L 250G /dev/vg_fa-lv_root
5) pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 300G /dev/sda2
I can't remember but it was something like that
Everything is working perfectly with no data loss the only problem i have is that fdisk doesn't show the correct size and when i boot up the windows disk it says no free space.
