I thought you could just grow the filesystem without unmounting!

290 MB? That seems oddly specific, is that really necessary?

Just use lvextend and resize2fs, super straightforward!

I think the acceptable range is important, but I’m worried I might miscalculate the size when using `lvreduce`.

I feel like I’ve seen a question similar to this where we had to check the filesystem first with `e2fsck`. Should we do that here too?

I remember practicing with `resize2fs`, but I’m confused about whether I should run it before or after `lvreduce`.

I think we need to use `lvreduce` to shrink the logical volume, but I'm not entirely sure about the exact syntax.

This looks like a classic LVM resizing question. I'd start by checking the current size with `df`, then use `lvextend` to increase the volume size. After that, I'd run `resize2fs` to expand the filesystem to match. Should be able to get this done pretty quickly.

Okay, I think I've got a plan here. First I'll use `e2fsck` to check the filesystem, then `umount` the volume, `resize2fs` to resize the filesystem, and finally `lvreduce` to shrink the logical volume. Gotta make sure the contents stay intact though, that's the tricky part.

Hmm, this one's got me a little stumped. I know I need to resize the logical volume and filesystem, but I'm not sure of the exact commands to use. I'll have to review my notes on LVM management before attempting this.

I think I've got a good handle on this. I'd start by checking the current size of the logical volume and filesystem using `df -hT`. Then I'd use `lvextend` to increase the size of the logical volume by 100 MB, and `xfs_growfs` to expand the filesystem to match. Should be pretty straightforward.

I bet the exam writer had a good laugh coming up with this one. 'Resize the volume, but don't mess up the filesystem!' Classic.

Don't forget to use resize2fs or e2fsck to update the partition capacity. It's important for the exam.
