@blackops so what do you recommend here? I chose #LVM & encryption the first time (and probably didn’t set it up right), thinking it would bridge my 250GB SSD & 1TB onboard HD. Then I added all my media files to my home folder and #Ubuntu ran out of space. Is my understanding of LVM wrong? What’s the best way to manage documents and media if your primary drive space is limited?

#lvm
I reduced a Volume Group by the size of /dev/sdb including shrinking the fs. This left 1Gb in the Physical Volume for some reason. So I moved this to /dev/sda with pvmove command. Then a recalcitrant vgreduce agreed to remove
/dev/sdb from the Volume Group. Then pvreduce to strip the lvm labels. Rebooted and it still works. Now I can take that ssd out and install it in Ferns computer to replace his failed ssd. I feel like a hero.
