RE: [linux-lvm] lvm and reducing vols/ext3

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

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.
