It's not that simple if /usr is on LVM, / is not large enough to |
| 13 |
hold /usr and resizing the partition is really tricky. In that case, the |
| 14 |
simplest option is to start using an initramfs. Once that is working, you |
| 15 |
can get rid of the separate root partition and move that filesystem into |
| 16 |
the VG too. |
