Oops. I misread something. Thanks!

Hm. I have plenty of computers where the disks have one RAID partition,
and the RAID volume has only LVM on it, with either a separate LV=boot
or just booting from LV=/ This has worked since at least GRUB2 came out.
I also have a single-disk
Thanks to everyone who responded!
As Lennart points out, /boot can't be an LVM, and the whole rest of the
disk was an LVM partition. Those get bigger easily, but not smaller.
It was easiest for me to copy my /home onto a backup drive and reinstall
Debian. My experiment with LVM and "automatic"

Useless advice: I've never felt the need for a /boot partition.
I just have it as part of /. Start up
Thanks for the response! My /boot partition is 239Mb, which is just small
enough that a particularly chunky kernel and an upgrade to it is too much.
I am not in a big hurry to delete the kernel image I am actively using to
make space for the upgraded one - 'cause every 5 years or so I need to

How small is your /boot partition? Are you using it for more than just the
Hello!
When I installed Debian on my current computer, I (foolishly) let the
install script partition my disk. Now I have a /boot partition that is too
small.
The system is using lvm, and I have enough free space on /home that I can
reduce the size of /home by a couple of Gb, and then in theory
