Do the following steps as:

1.First check the size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vo/myvol

2.Make sure that the filesystem is in a consistent state before reducing:

# fsck –f /dev/vo/myvol

3.Now reduce the filesystem by 200MB.

# resize2fs /dev/vo/myvol 200M

4.It is now possible to reduce the logical volume.

#lvreduce /dev/vo/myvol –L 200M

4.Verify the Size of Logical Volume: lvdisplay /dev/vo/myvol

5.Verify that the size comes in online or not: df -h
