shrinking lvm

[gaurav]

Hi Paul,
            I think logical partition  will suffice for oracle installation,

Here is info you asked for

# vgdisplay
  --- Volume group ---
  VG Name               VolGroup00
  System ID
  Format                lvm2

  Metadata Sequence No  3
  VG Access             read/write
  VG Status             resizable
  MAX LV                0
  Cur LV                2
  Open LV               2
  Max PV                0
  Cur PV                1
  Act PV                1
  VG Size               38.16 GB
  PE Size               32.00 MB
  Total PE              1221
  Alloc PE / Size       1220 / 38.12 GB
  Free  PE / Size       1 / 32.00 MB
  VG UUID               xmHw2k-SVQS-lnIQ-u0z5-8E9E-vHAy-YEYXj4

# lvscan

#  df
