Ugh. So I have hundreds of free GBs in my LVM VGs, but I won't be able to install Fedora? Is there no way around this?
Well you have two options I think,
- the obvious first, resize your LVMs to free 500 MB and use it as
/boot
JFTR, unfortunately PVs cannot be made smaller. The whole idea of LVM is to do all the resize operations *within* the containers.
JFTR, unfortunately, you'll need to raise a bug against the pvresize manpage then...
http://linux.die.net/man/8/pvresize
--- Shrink the PV on /dev/sda1 prior to shrinking the partition with fdisk (ensure that the PV size is appropriate for your intended new partition size):
pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 40G /dev/sda1 ---
When filing the report, please state why your assertion "for the record" is correct over the maintainer's.
