I have a Linux LVM volume that is about 400 GB.
I have shrunk it to 200 GB to get some space for a new NTFS partition on which I can install Win7.
umount /local
e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/vg00-lvol2
resize2fs /dev/mapper/vg00-lvol2 217G
lvresize -L 217G /dev/mapper/vg00-lvol2
lvdisplay /dev/mapper/vg00-lvol2
mount /local
I have now about 200 GB of free space in the LVM volume.
-->lvm pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda3 vg00 lvm2 a-- 465.16G 213.00G
How can I create an NTFS partition on that free space? I'm guessing I'll need something on the lines of:
- Logical LVM volume on that free space:
lvcreate vg00 -l100%FREE
- Physical LVM volume on that logical volume.
- LVM volume group on that physical volume.
- mkfs on the LVM volume grooup.
