UPDATED:
I installed a Deb 7 Srv w LVM w following partitions:
The end product should become a mail server (Citadel) and in time also a Web server.
Code:

Now i want to _shrink_ the HOME partition so I can expand my VAR partition. Looked for guides but haven't found any site useful so far
I tried to find a way to do it when I installed it but it didn't seem to offer me this at this time even I looked around for a while.
How do I do this shrinking of HOME and extending of VAR partition??
please be fairly specific as Im not a pro yet
