Assuming you used up all you available physical disk space, you'll need to shrink one of you lv's and grow the lv for /usr. To do this, you should read the man pages for lvm and the tool to resize & check your filesystem of choice. Assuming you have ext3 as filesystem, the apps mentioned below (e2fsck & resize2fs) should do. The procedure will be something like below, but this is not a howto, read man pages first. You could F***up you filesystem when doing things wrong!: - boot from CD (SystemRescueCD, some live cd ..) - activate you lv's: # vgscan # vgchange -a -y <vg_name> # vgmknodes - shrink a lv (e.g. resize /home to 2GB) # e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/vg01-home # resize2fs -p /dev/mapper/vg01-home 1.9G # lvreduce --size 2G /dev/vg01/home # resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg01-home - grow a lv (e.g. resize /usr with 500MB) # lvextend --size +500M /dev/vg01/usr # e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/vg01-usr # resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg01-usr HTH, Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
