Add unallocated space to lvm

Add unallocated space to lvm

I shrunk my windows partition and now have 10 GB of unallocated space that I now want to use to grow my / partition which is an ext4 in an lvm. I'm running Fedora 12.

Given the amount of work required to shuffle the partitions around, you could consider expanding your NTFS partition again, then creating a 10GB file, putting a filesystem in it, then mounting it after mounting your NTFS partition. This solution is less robust than sorting out the partitions properly (and obviously doesn't integrate nicely with lvm) but it may be that it's more achievable.
