BUT why does that /dev/mapper/eeepc--vg-root partition show as only 1.1Gb, there's 1.7Gb or so for it to use in /dev/sda5. In fact what is all that /dev/mapper/eeepc--vg-root stuff about? I don't have anything like it on my other machines.
Urk, I've just realised what's happened. *Both* of those logical volumes (root and swap) are on the 1.6Gb /dev/sda5 and just the /boot partition is on /dev/sda1.
I need to reduce the size of the boot partition and probably the swap partition too.
OK, I'll continue talking to myself! :-)
I've resized the underlying partitions OK using gparted. I've also resized the logical volumes using lvreduce/lvresize. Finally I resized the filesystem on the root partition using resize2fs.
Is that it? There isn't an equivalent of resize2fs required for the swap partition is there?
