Well let me detail the process. I booted up with an Ubuntu live cd and from a terminal I tried 1) # resize2fs /dev/debian/var 2G This didn't work and told me that resize didn't support my current filesystem 2) # lvreduce -L -248M /dev/debian/var 3) # lvextend -L 248M /dev/debian/root 4) # resize2fs /dev/debian/root Rebooted and had the problem as described previously.
