Hello,
I needed to expand the size of an LVM filesystem. I successfully ran
vgextend and lvextend. I have not yet resized the file system. My
problem is that I added 1 too many volumes to the LV. My question is, if
I run lvreduce, as follows:
lvreduce -L -2340M /dev/xsg1/winxs_lv1
am I guaranteed that the logical extents at the end of the LV are the ones
that will be removed, i.e. the ones on device "/dev/dasdbk1" from the list
below. Since I haven't yet done a filesystem resize, these extents are
unused. I suspect that is the case but I can't find anything in writing
to verify it.
Below is the output of the "lvdisplay -v" command:
Thanks,
