I shrunk my windows partition and now have 10 GB of unallocated space that I now want to use to grow my / partition which is an ext4 in an lvm. I'm running Fedora 12.
I ran system-config-lvm but the "Initialize Entry" button is greyed out.
The unallocated space is not adjacent to the lvm but I cannot move the partitions in GParted like I was able to with ext3 in the past. I cannot create a new partition either as it says it cannot have more than 4 primary partitions. I don't see any option to create an extended partition.
So my question is, how do I add that unallocated space to the lvm so I can grow the size of the / partition?
I don't want to reinstall Fedora.
