I am trying to resize a LVM partition in a CentOS 6.9 machine with a live CD. If I need any other distro, It´s fine with me Thanks! Miguel

I make no promises that it is there, but you could try system-config-lvm. If that doesn’t work, the lvextend and lvreduce commands should work for you. — Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org “It’s always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.

I know lvextend and lvreduce commands but I prefer to use the GUI which is less prompt to errors (specially when shrinking your volume). Still, I´m talking about any known live CD which contains system-config-lvm or any other GUI tool. Thanks — This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com
The ‘live’ download of GParted v0.31 (gparted.org/download.php – 64-bit ISO = ~318MiB) says it does LVM2 now… the latest available for install from the CentOS/EPEL repos is v0.19, which does not show any LVM as a supported type. Sorry for the slow reply; hope that helps.

Another idea is Fedora 27 or 28 live media, and ‘dnf install blivet-gui’
