Re: How to Resize Partition on LVM

[ray <ray@aarden.us>]

I would like to thank everyone to helping.

Looks like it is working.  Here is the action:

With Live GParted, reduce sda5 to minimum ~ 60GB.
Create new partition, sda6 ~420GB.
Booted back to Debian.
pvcreate /dev/sda6
vgcreate xenvg /dev/sda6
lvcreate -l +100%FREE xenvg -n xenlv
mkfs.ext4 -m 0 /dev/xenvg/xenlv

Updated /etc/fstab  last line:
/dev/mapper/xenvg-xenlv /xenfs             ext4        defaults        0     

# mount -a

# ls -a /xenfs
.  ..  lost+found


# df -h
