lvreduce: Reduce a volume's size to 120 GB.
$ lvreduce --size ${120G} ${logical_volume}
try on your machine
This command is used to reduce the size of a logical volume (LV) in Linux.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
lvreduce
: This is the command to reduce the size of a logical volume.--size ${120G}
: This option specifies the new desired size for the logical volume. In this case, the size is set to 120 gigabytes (G).${logical_volume}
: This is the placeholder for the name of the logical volume that you want to reduce the size of. You need to replace${logical_volume}
with the actual name of the logical volume you want to modify.
To use this command, you would run it in a terminal or command prompt, replacing ${logical_volume}
with the name of the logical volume you want to resize. For example:
lvreduce --size 120G my_logical_volume
Note that this command may require superuser (root) privileges or sudo access, depending on your system configuration.
