I have a Fedora Linux 28 system with 4 physical drives all in one LVM Volume Group. This system's motherboard only has 4 SATA slots. My goal is to remove the /dev/sdd physical drive from the Volume Group. I set this LVM Volume Group up during the installation of Fedora and I haven't made any changes to it since.



sudo lvm pvdisplay -m outputs the following:

I'm trying to follow this guide, which describes how to use the pvmove command, but running pvmove /dev/sdd1 gives me this error:

How do I create extents for the allocation process?

    And your root filesystem is probably XFS, which can't be shrunk. You somehow dug a hole for yourself here. You're going to have to add another disk, at least temporarily.
