I need help on resize two LVM partitions as I'm afraid of loosing data.



I'm using Ubuntu Server 12.04 headless mode.



LVS:



root@server:/# lvs

home LVG -wi-ao 27,94g
root LVG -wi-ao 6,52g
storage LVG -wi-ao 504,84g
swap LVG -wi-ao 732,00m


FDISK:

I want to shrink my /home LV partition and extent my /storage LV partition.



What is the proper method to do this?



Thanks

You have to use vgreduce on the home device and vgextend on the storage device. After that youhave to use resize2fs on both to resize the file system, if not, it will no show the changes.
