Hi,
My goal is:
-to resize my existing LVM partition, so that I can install a second OS.
What I want to avoid:
-deleting the existing partition, and set it up all new.
-buying a new hard disk.
I've read a couple of message posts that said that this simply isn't possible, but I'm not willing to give up yet.
fdisk -f
Code:
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40038211584 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4867 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/hda2 14 4867 38989755 8e Linux LVM
df -hT

pvs

lvs
Code:

mvol main -wi-ao 14.62G
swap_space main -wi-a- 1.00G
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
