ah LVM, dont you just love it ... just ran low on space on a /home |
| 35 |
partition across town. ok, reclaim some space from /var/data which at |
| 36 |
1.4T has plenty to spare. Once Ive finished I noticed a "small" |
| 37 |
problem ... typed 1G instead of 1T when shrinking /var/data, and the |
| 38 |
89Gb packet capture I had there is toast :( |

One of those "Ah F..." moments ... love backups. |
