pvdisplay shows just 1 Free PE :( and there is no other spare VolGroup
[EMAIL PROTECTED] simon]# pvdisplay
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/hda2
VG Name VolGroup00
PV Size 37.16 GB / not usable 0
Allocatable yes
PE Size (KByte) 32768
Total PE 1189
Free PE 1
Allocated PE 1188

Is there a way where i can resize this VolGroup00 and then can resize
/dev/hda2 ??
> 4. Run vgreduce to remove the volume from the volume group.
there is only one Volume Group in the system
"/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00", the size of the same is 36Gb (the
size of almost the whole hardisk).
[EMAIL PROTECTED] simon]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
36G 18G 17G 53% /
/dev/hda1 99M 56M 39M 60% /boot
none 248M 0 248M 0% /dev/shm
> 5. Mount the filesystem on the updated volume group.

thanx
Simon.
