Combine LVM logical volumes?

Question

It's a server with 128GB SSD.

There are two LVs, / and /home.

I want to combine them into one since the space is limited. I checked the HOW-TO but didn't found the tutorial for this task.

Any tips? Thanks!

Answer 1

As they are distinct file systems, the only way to merge them would be copy the contents over and afterwards remove the other one.

But I don't see that you'll gain very much free space. To me, this config seems ideal:

• a / of about 10 GiB, maybe more,
• a /home of the needed size, and
• resize the one or other as needed.
