Hi,
I am running 3 partitions
in RAID 1
.
Partition : Mountpoint : Filesystem : Encrypted : LVM
------------------------------------------------------
1 : /boot : ext2 : No : No
2 : / : ext3 : Yes : No
3 : /home : xfs : Yes : Yes
It now happens that I have given the root of the system too few gigs; i would like to shrink the LVM (3) and give the root(2) more space. How can I do this safely without messing up the system? In what order do I have to resize the raid partitions, encryption, lvm, file systems?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
