=== Why Readjust sizes of lv_root and lv_home? ===
If you refer to the LV sizes of your '''f16host''', you may notice that the size of '''lv_root''' (your root system) is quite small compared to the size of '''lv_home'''. Since virtual machines The Virtual Machines that you have created are stored in the directory pathname <code>/var/lib/libvirt/images/</code>, then it is important that there is ample space and since you are required to accommodate make backups and create future Virtual Machines VMs (eg. assignments) or future growth , you will run out of file-systems.space!
On the other hand, you may notice that lv_home is extremely large. Therefore, we are going to use LVM management tools to redistribute those logical volume sizes.
{{Admon/important|LV resize is Required!|You '''MUST''' perform the following steps in order to re size lv_home and lv_root logical volumes. Failure to perform this operation will likely cause the user to run out of space in <code>/var/lib/libvirt/images/</code> directory used to hold future Virtual Machine installations (e.g. assignments).}} '''Perform the following operations to readjust size redistribute the sizes of lv_root and lv_home in f16host:'''
# Make certain you are in your '''f16host''' system.
# Log -off all users out of on the GUI.# Press the keyboard combination '''Ctrl-Alt-F2F3''' to a switch to a text-based Virtual Terminal# Login to Log into your root account, then login as (eg. username: ''root'' password: ''admin password'')
# Enter the following Linux commands:
