Below are the logical steps to reduce the size of the LVM partition :
* Unmount the file system using the unmount command
* Use the
resize2fs command as follows:
resize2fs /dev/mapper/myvg-mylv 10G?
* Then, use the
lvreduce command as follows:
lvreduce -L 10G /dev/mapper/myvg-mylv?
This way, we can reduce the size of the LVM partition and fix the size of the file system to 10 GB.
