Topic: Can gparted shrink a logical volume?

I have a computer that has Fedora 10 as the only operating system.  The install created two partitions on the hard drive.  The first is the boot partition.  The second is all allocated to the logical volume manager.  I started to upgrade the operating system to Fedora 12, but was stopped.  The boot partition is too small by 528 bytes, after I had removed old kernels.  Nothing else there that I can remove.

Can gparted make the changes required to properly shrink the logical volume area and add that to the boot partition?

If gparted can't do this, can anybody tell me how to resize the logical volume so that gparted can grow the boot partition?

Thanks.

John McKee

Currently GParted does not support LVM.  There is a bug request to add LVM support:
