I am removing one of the logical volumes:
# umount /install
# lvremove /dev/data/install
# sed -i 'N;//dev/mapper/data-install/{s#/dev/mapper/data-install.*n##}' /etc/fstab
After the removal:
# df -h

How can I shrink the physical volume, volume group and finally the partition altogether by what amounts to the free space after removing the logical volume? Preferably that should be done specifying relative values (to pvresize
?) or something similar to lvextend -l 100%FREE <lvolume>
. Also I would like to accomplish this using the command line alone (no GUI). It is also worth noting that the root/system logical volume is active and in use at all times.
Well, pvresize
doesn't have an option for relative values like lvextend
does, so you need to specify the exact size you want. Here's what you can do:
pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 5.5G /dev/sda2
pvresize /dev/sda2
