18 I was talking about the command to change the superuser reserves. I
19 know how to make LVM bigger but wanted to make sure this can be run even
20 when there is data on there. Basically, can I run:
21
22 tune2fs -m 1 /dev/data/data1
23
24 Which is where the ext4 file system is on the LVM. After I run that
25 then I can expand LVM from there, I hope it works that easy.
