How to shrink root file system (LVM) in Linux Fedora 9?
My root file system is of type LVM. i wanna shrink it but unable to do so.
When i give the below command:
it messages that online shrink can't can't be done as the logical volume is mounted on /. i switched to single user mode by giving command:
There also, it messages the same. it says that online resizing(shrinking) is not available.
i tried by giving a few commands below but my system messaged that command doesn't exist. ( not sure whether these commands are really there or not, just a try)
What i intend to do is: i w'd reduce the LVM and the space avalialble after that , i w'd make one more logical volume in which i w'd install Ubuntu 12.10. i hope i can install this way keeping Fedora as well as windows.
