1. List the 5 complete commands, in correct order, you would enter to decrease the size of an ext3 file system to 1GB. The file system is inside a logical volume named LUX. The logical volume is part of a volume group named SENECA. You may assume the logical volume is currently mounted on /mnt and that the current size of the file system is 2GB of which less than ¼ is used.

   1. umount /mnt
   2. fsck -t ext3 /dev/SENECA/LUX
   3. resize2fs /dev/SENECA/LUX 1G
   4. lvreduce SENECA/LUX -L1G
   5. mount /dev/SENECA/LUX /mnt
