From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Good grief. Why?
That's not even a bad idea then.
One of my machines has a boot partition that's a bit too small, on an otherwise LVM setup.
Nah, it'll be fine.
I might have a large enough USB SSD laying around some where. I could probably use that instead.
Yeah. I mainly use btrfs; it supports online growing and shrinking.
I know. I have done plenty of same device partition resizing. I know the pit falls, and for safety shrink the FS to below what the LV is going to be.
Thanks for the reminder. I've been meaning to set up snapshot backups for this machine using rsnapshot as an experiment. I mainly use Dirvish
That sounds pretty much like what Dirvish and rsnapshot do. Both wrap rsync.
