Might be nice to add at this point a cautionary
e2fsck -f /dev/curley/home # check consistency before starting (may
be required by resize2fs?)
to make sure that "resize2fs" and "lvreduce" are in agreement on the
meaning of "30G". It's possible that one does it in decimal and the
other does it in binary -- possibly resulting in a filesystem that
thinks it's larger than the partition it's in.
As discussed in the debian-user thread running concurrently to this
one with subject "Re: e2fsck /dev/md0 issues"
lvcreate -L8500M -nvar curley # make 1/2 of the new space into lv
var
lvcreate -L8500M -ntmp curley # make 1/2 of the new space into lv
tmp
Enjoy!
