I could not work out how to extend the / filesystem after I extended the LV containing / .. It wanted the / partition dismounted before it would extend the filesystem.. I tried to do this by booting CD 1 in rescue mode and the trying to extend the filesystem using resize2fs which simply gave me the error saying it would not extend..



Ext2/Ext3 does not include online resizing, though there are experimental patches on SourceForge:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=303834&group_id=3834&func=browse

Several of the other journaling filesystems support online expansion,
including Reiserfs and XFS.

You ought to be able to resize Ext3 from the rescue disks.



Yes i know they don't support online resizing, but I could not get the / fiesystem to resize enev when booted from the rescue disk and umounting / .. It simply said that it would not resize.. Not much detail as to why.. :(

This is why I was questioning if anyone had actually managed to resize a / filesystem in a LV..

Later..
