lvreduce reduces the size of an LV. The freed logical extents are returned
|
|
to the VG to be used by other LVs. A copy-on-write snapshot LV can also
|
|
be reduced if less space is needed to hold COW blocks. Use
|
|
\fBlvconvert\fP(8) to change the number of data images in a RAID or
|
|
mirrored LV.
|
|
.P
|
|
Be careful when reducing an LV's size, because data in the reduced area is
|
|
lost. Ensure that any file system on the LV is resized \fBbefore\fP
|
|
running lvreduce so that the removed extents are not in use by the file
|
|
system.
|
|
.P
|
|
Sizes will be rounded if necessary. For example, the LV size must be an
|
|
exact number of extents, and the size of a striped segment must be a
|
|
multiple of the number of stripes.

|

|
In the usage section below, \fB--size\fP \fISize\fP can be replaced
|
|
with \fB--extents\fP \fINumber\fP. See both descriptions
|
|
the options section.
