How small is your /boot partition? Are you using it for more than just the
kernel files needed to boot your system?
I have a /boot that is way bigger than I really need but I wanted room to
keep multiple kernels so I can test out different distros that may require
different kernels. Allowing 100M per kernel should be more than enough
space. I currently have two kernels and they only use 153M of disk space.

I don't use lvm so I can't help with that. All I can say is that when I have
needed to adjust partition sizes I use gparted. That might not help you.
