Below are the logical Steps to reduce size of LVM partition :

-Umount the filesystem using umount command,

-use resize2fs command , e.g resiz2fs /dev/mapper/myvg-mylv 10G

-Now use the lvreduce command , e.g lvreduce -L 10G /dev/mapper/myvg-mylv

Above Command will shrink the size & will make the filesystem size 10GB.

C: Increase the value of variable in the recursive function without using global or static variable?

I have a recursive function as below,

void func()
{
       if(counter>10)
              return;
       func();
}

Here, I need to come out of the function when counter reaches specific number(10 as per example).
Now, the condition is, I can't take this counter as global or static or can't pass this counter as parameter.

Any suggestion to solve this given above terms.

How to find out the size of my computer hard disk?

How can I see the total disk size of my hard disk?

I have used the following command:

# fdisk -l | grep Disk
Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes, ********** sectors
Disk identifier: 0x0003dd50
Disk /dev/mapper/fedora_new--host--5-swap: 6274 MB, ********** bytes,
12255232 sectors
Disk /dev/mapper/fedora_new--host--5-root: 53.7 GB, ********** bytes,
104857600 sectors
Disk /dev/mapper/fedora_new--host--5-home: 939.7 GB, **********
bytes, ********** sectors
#

Should I conclude that the size of my hard disk is 1 TB?
