Create ext4 partition on LVM
0
I have a 2TB volume (RAID 5) on a Linux Mint . I use Dropbox, which has stopped supporting any file type on Linux Mint 18.1 system. I would like to carve out a partition formatted in a manner Dropbox will like. Is there a way to do this?
$ lsblk -f
NAME FSTYPE
sda
sda1 xfs
sda2 LVM2_me
|- rhel-root xfs
|- rhel-swap swap [SWAP]
|- rhel-home xfs /home
$ sudo vgs rhel
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
rhel 1 3 0 wz--n- 1.91t 60.00m
linux-mint filesystems lvm dropbox

I tried to help the formatting of the lsblk command, but perhaps you can copy & paste the actual output, then use the{}formatting button?

The output ofvgs rhelwould indicate if there's free space available to create a new LV & ext4 filesystem.

That looks like rhel not mint. Your question is unclear, you either need to create a new lv or downsize. How much free space do you have on the hard drive? See access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/… or similsr or perhaps use gparted

It's mint. It's a repurposed server. The raid array was set up under red hat.

Boot a live usb and make space either with g po artes or lvm as needed. Post if you have a problem
