shrinking LVM-volume and add new volumes

[Götz Reinicke]

Hi,

may be I've been a little bit to fast setting up a new RHEL5 server :-)

I've created a volumegroup on a hardwareraid about 1.8TB and there is
one logical volume mounted on / using ext3.

Now I do need some more volumes because of getting better quota
management; e.g. a temporary share without quota on or special project
accounts.

The simple question: How to proceed? I've been reading some RH Manuals
and home how tos, but I'm not realy shure if I got all things right.
(resize filesystem, change logic volume size, add a new logic volume,
put a filesystem on it, mount it somewhere, copy the stuff from the
"big" volume to the new, ...)

Hase someone a simple how to what steps have to be done? May be it's
also a problem, that the volume is mounted as /.

Thanks in advance for any hints and tips!


Regards

Götz
