how to increase space in linux production server
Dear Experts:
We are running crm on redhat enterprise Linux with LVM partitions now that var partition is filled I would like to shrink /opt and increase /var as crm is in /var.
Also this server is in VMware snapshot once taken and this should be deleted.
Please suggest , first should I have delete the snap shot and then do the LVM extension for /var.
attached log of disk layout and lvm output
please suggest, thanks in advance.

Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

/dev/sda2 * 4209030 178257239 87024105 83 Linux
since the server is suse enterprise linux 11 with SP3
it is not LVM
Please suggest the step by step to increase the space as actual used is 82 GB would like to make use of rest. does it require to boot from single user, please suggest step by step.
