Xen devel - Aug 2006 - partition

HI All,
   
   
  fdisk -l
  Disk /dev/sda: 40.0 GB, 40060403712 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4870 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1        1275    10241406    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2            1276        4739    27824580   83  Linux
/dev/sda3            4740        4870     1052257+  82  Linux swap
[root@localhost ~]#

   
  I have 40 Gb hard disk, i am using 10 gb for windows , rest of all 
sapce for linux.
  when i did dual boot i gave all space to / partion.
   
  if i would like to create new LVM partition this is not possible as i 
already assigne space to linux.
  please let us know what can i do to make lvm partition
   
  df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2              27G   14G   12G  53% /
none                  220M     0  220M   0% /dev/shm

  pvcreate /dev/sda4
  Device /dev/sda4 not found.

  if i tried fdsisk i got error
  No free sectors available

  Please guide me about partition.
   
   
  Thank you,

If you''re lucky Partition Magic can be used to "shrink" the
Linux filesystem -
but only if it supports the filesystem you''re using under Linux.

Otherwise you might have to delete the Linux partition, create a smaller one
(or just use LVM for the Linux install - but don''t use all the LVM
space for
your Linux root filesystem!) and reinstall Linux onto that.
