Unfortunately the attempted use of lvreduce reports that it could not find fsadm (and fsadm is not in the live file system's /sbin/ with the lv* tools).</span><br><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px; font-family: Georgia;"><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">Part of the purpose for "rescue-powerpc" (and the like) should be to do operations that can not be done with a live (root) filesystem. Looks like this specific kind of example of that has been missed.</div><div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><br></div><div style="margin: 0px;">I have not checked if other processor families have similar issues for their "alternate" CDs or if the issue is specific to lubuntu vs. existing in other ubuntu variants. Nor have I checked other types of .iso's for powerpc.</div><div><br></div></div></div><div apple-content-edited="true">
