I've always recommended not having the root file system on a logical
volume. For reasons other than this, but my advice still stands.

Subject: [linux-lvm] lvm and reducing vols/ext3
People,
I have looked around at the docs and googled and it seems if I want to
reduce a root vol/partition I have to:
- boot on an emergency CD
- resize the root ext3 partition
- reduce the lv
Isn't this process just making the exercise more complicated than it
would have been if I didn't have LVs?
Thanks,
Phil.
