When I installed Debian on my current computer, I (foolishly) let the install script partition my disk. Now I have a /boot partition that is too small.
The system is using lvm, and I have enough free space on /home that I can reduce the size of /home by a couple of Gb, and then in theory allocate that to my ridiculously undersized /boot partition.
Back in the old days I knew how to do this, but with lvm I don't know how, and of the (many) questions and answers that I have found I haven't seen one that inspires confidence.
So...
1) Do I need to make a boot drive? 2) Does anyone know a nice set of instructions?
Well you may in fact need a boot drive since you are using LVM for / and something has to boot the system to a ramdisk to start lvm to mount root. gparted livecd can definitely expand LVM PV, but not sure about shrinking them. What is the current partition table? -- Len Sorensen
