Topic: When I shirnk main lvm partition it grows back to normal
Hello. I am booting from a liveCD with Gparted (obviously). My primary linux partition is lvm and is 200 gb. I try to shrink it by going to shrink and moving the bar on the far right over to the left. I have used 80gb on a total of 200gb. I want to shrink it down to 100gb and make a separate partition from the remaining 100gb. When I preform the operation Gparted shrinks the partition and then it grows the partition. When the whole operation is done It looks like nothing has happened. My lvm partition is still 200gb. I have done this twice and am not sure what I am doing wrong. help. Thanks!
