Thread: Resize a physical volume, will lvm freak out?

so i'm installing bsd in virtual machine play around it, may install machine if have enough fun

current partition layout.

code:

disk /dev/sda: 251.0 gb, 251000193024 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30515 cylinders units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes i/o size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes disk identifier: 0x000e5e32     device boot      start         end      blocks   id  system /dev/sda1   *           1          36      289138+  83  linux /dev/sda2              37       30515   244822537    5  extended /dev/sda5              37       30515   244822536   8e  linux lvm

/dev/sda5 physical volume in volume group, lvm freak out if go resizing can carve out space bsd.
