Resizing 'home' partition with logical Volume management, a small HOWTO.
Im running LVM on a debian system. File system type is ext3.
Part 1
To display your logical partitions managed by lvm, run the following command: /sbin/lvn lvdisplay
To resize a particular device (in this case my home partition). Here we add 500 Meg to a partition.
/sbin/lvm lvresize --size +500m /dev/develpoment/home
Part 2.
sudo init 1 (to go down to run level one)
Now unmount the device
umount /dev/development/home
perform following
/sbin/e2fsck -f " /dev/development/home"
This is the actual command to increase the fs size to 7Gig
/sbin/resize2fs /dev/development/home 7G
remount the device
control-D to bounce back from run level one and your done.
