I have a Redhat 8.0 machine, from which I want to remove a small hard
drive. Here's the partitioning setup as it is now:
hda: 2.5 gig
200 meg /boot
256 meg swap
2 gig scratch (easily moved to hdc)
hdb: 60 gig
60 gig md RAID 1
hdc: 80 gig
60 gig md RAID 1
512 meg /tmp
256 meg swap
md0: 60 gig LVM
/usr, /var, /home, /. space available at the end
Now, I would like to remove hda, but I'll need to put /boot on hdb and
there's no space left. I can't put /boot on the 80 gig because this
machine's BIOS hangs if it tries to detect a drive that large. So, I
need to shrink the physical partion (the 60 gig LVM mirror) by about 100
megs from the front so I can put /boot on hdb. How the heck do I do
something like this?
