<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">I've tried to resize a "/" partition using information from the thread
below after booting from the FC3 DVD with linux rescue.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">I ran the lvm lvscan, then lvm vgchange -ay, and then did the resize
command to change the partition from 35GB to 30GB. It is using no
more than 12GB of space. This was a test machine, and was to see
if it would work. It gave a warning message, but it being a test
machine, was no problem. Unfortunately, after rebooting the
machine had a kernel panic with an inodees error message. </span></font></div>

<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">The reason that I want to be able to resize the partition, is that I
have another machine with a AMD64 3000+ CPU and a 250GB
drive with FC3 as well. In the default installation, it setup the drive
with the boot and "/" partitions. System works fine, but it is used to
do backups of other systems on the network, and these are about
15GB files for each lab. I want to be able to backup the root partition
of this machine as well, but with the 200+GB partition, it doesn't
work well. I would like to redo the machine in a way to have the
directory for the images as a separate partition. I've been able to
add a 70GB drive, and have it map to another directory in the
manner that I would like to do with this 250GB drive. </span></font></div>

<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">Can this be done with LVM. I've used presizer in the past, and also
partition magic with windows. I'm sure it can be done, but I have
found it yet. Thanks again.</span></font></div>
