Re: [Xen-users] setting-up lvm-based VMs on a non-LVM Lenny setup

[Darko Petrović <darko.b.petrovic@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can still change it if you have enough free space. Boot a Linux distro from Live CD (Ubuntu or Knoppix for instance) and start the partition editor. You will be able to shrink your system so as to leave room for LVM volumes.

Good luck!
