Re: Transfer storage from home to var

[roman.meier@gismap.ch]

Hi Petter,

The following worked based on your suggestion:

sudo lvresize -r -L-10G /dev/vg_system/skole+tjener+home0
sudo lvresize -r -L+10G /dev/vg_system/var

I hope this was safe and nothing got lost on home0 ;)

Kind regards,
Roman
