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

[Philip Rhoades <phil pricom com au>]

Mark,

OK, but doesn't the same argument apply to non-root file systems? -  
don't I still have to resize the file system as well as resizing the LV?

I can see that LVs might be quite convenient spread over multiple  
physical drives but I can't see that much advantage on one drive . .

Thanks,

Phil.
