[wplug] Backing up (cloning) to a smaller drive...

I'm trying to backup one hard drive to another.  Problem being is my new
drive is about several megs smaller than the old one.

The system is Fedora installed with the default ext3/LVM setup.

I figure I need to resize my ext3 partition a bit so everything will fit on
the new drive.

I don't know much at all about LVM, and all of the partitioning tools I'm
familier with lists the partition type as UNKNOWN.

Can someone point me in the right direction here?  :)

TIA
Mike
