Sounds like your root file system is in LogVol01. Makes working on it nearly
impossible. A good live-CD with LV tools is rescatux
(www.supergrubdisk.org/rescatux). Good luck! I just used it to reorganize
some root LVs on RHEL 5.

Hi Keith!
It does. Don't forget to shrink your filesystem(s) first. You'll find a
whole lot of howtos on the net to achieve that depending on the filesystem
you actually use.

[DRBD-user] Shrink an LVM partition and create a new one for the /drbd mount
?
I have a pre-configured server using LVM, with one large logical volume
using all disk space beyond the /boot partition, and a separate /drbd
partition is needed.
Normally, I remove LVM and create a /drbd partition after formatting the
RAID array.
That isn't an easy option here, as the machine is pre-configured with the
OS, etc.
Am I correct that the analog to a physical /drbd partition under LVM is the
creation of a logical volume in a volume group?
$ lvdisplay
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
VG Name VolGroup00
The lvcreate command failed, not enough free extents:
$ lvcreate -v --size 1g --name LogVol02 VolGroup00
Setting logging type to disk
Finding volume group "VolGroup00"
Insufficient free extents (0) in volume group VolGroup00: 32 required
I'll have to shrink LogVol01 to make room for a LogVol02 on which /drbd will
be mounted.
Does this sound like the correct way of creating a partition for /drbd in
this situation?
Thanks!
