Thank for your information.But this all only useful for to new installation
time.
1. /home partition is already in use and it contains 21GB data.
2.how to extend this partition(I have 3.25GB free space in VG)
3.My question is if i add the free space to this partition using this
command how the remaining space will change to ext3 format.
1.lvextend -L+3G /dev/mapper/VG1-lv_home
2.resize2fs /dev/mapper/VG1-lv_home
Now i am getting this error what can i do now
/dev/mapper/VG1-lv_home is mounted; can't resize a mounted filesystem!

This is my /etc/fstab entry
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

Dear Team,

Pleas give me solution for this issue. I will expect solution for this.

I am no expert with LVM, but based on the error message shown "/dev/mapper/VG1-lv_home is mounted; can't resize a mounted filesystem!" I guess that in your situation you cannot resize the file system while it is mounted - for whatever reason.
It seems to me that you would have to unmount the /home file system to resize it. This, however, might require rebooting the system in some different mode, maybe using a live system.
