I'm running FC3 and currently have one 300GB SATA drive which looks like this.
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
286285288 239994144 31748708 89% /
/dev/sda1 101086 33733 62134 36% /boot
none 517796 0 517796 0% /dev/shm
I've added a second drive today and am following the instructions here...
http://www.hants.lug.org.uk/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?action=browse&id=LinuxHints/LogicalVolumeManagement&oldid=LogicalVolumeManagement (section titled "Adding another disk")
...to add this drive to the volume group. I've successfully got as far as step 5 and hit a problem, since trying to unmount that volume group tells me that / is in use. Trying step 6 warns me that running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem can cause severe damage, at which point I chicken out. Is it safe to skip to step 7 and run resize2fs without unmounting the filesystem first or should I be doing something different?
