Topic: Does Gparted recognize LVM?
Stupid question, I'm sure. I'm simply trying to increase a linux swap space (Fedora Core 6, x86_64) from 2G to 4G. The Gparted LiveCD seemed to fire up okay after I overcame some video card issues. However, when I looked at the drives and partitions I did not see any evidence that Gparted recognized the partitions on my linux drive. In fact, there was a little warning (!) indicating that it couldn't read or recognize the main file system (ext3). I just don't get what could be going wrong.
Here's what's in /etc/fstab:
---------------------------------------
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
Here's a result of the "df" command:
----------------------------------------------
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
300658944 15192732 269947288 6% /
/dev/sdc1 101086 11700 84167 13% /boot
tmpfs 1026880 0 1026880 0% /dev/shm
So, my swap space is allocated to /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
Is there any reason why Gparted can't recognize it and resize it?
Thanks,
Jim
