how to give more space to / and less to /home after installing F13?

[robatino]

During F13 installation, I used the default partitioning. Later, after getting everything set up, I found that it had allocated more space than I needed for the /home partition, and not enough for /. For someone who knows basically nothing about LVM, could someone describe how to take some space away from /home and give it to / (without reinstalling)? Thanks. (This question probably deserves a guide.)

You mean like this:

or you could look at:

Personally, I have no use for LVM on a home computer. To each his/her own.

After some googling I was able to do it by booting into rescue mode, skipping mounting the disks, and using the method at

http://serverfault.com/questions/136...t-lose-of-data

but there really needs to be a guide for this (to avoid all the mistakes in individual posts, like the first one where he says to do the lvreduce before the resize2fs).

Why don't you write up something and put it into this thread

I don't understand well enough what I did to write it up. Someone who actually understands LVM should do it. I was just lucky not to hose my system in the process.
