You should remove sda2 and recreate it with a smaller size (for example 310G). The content should not be lost, as the metadata is at the start of the partition. (refer another mail of mine from 23/8/2008 "lvm resizing and shifting" on this issue) If you are still alive, you then: - enlarge the pv to 310 (try to avoid manual specification, always better autodetect). - enlarge the lv if you want - enlarge the filesystem if you want -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
