Trying to resize a partition on Linux, I got an error
I used resize for unmounted partition "/dev/sda6" to shrink it. Then I used fdisk to create a new partition. The original size was 299G, I resize it to 199G. I found free space with fdisk just 14M while the size of the partition "/dev/sda6" is 350xxxM !! Any help? Note I got nothing when I checked with commands "lvdisplay; pgdisplay; and vgdisplay"
