we sure do seem to have a lot of questions about lvm stuff here. i have a feeling that this means that there's a desparate need for some good and uptodate documentation. i looked through the archives, and didn't find the answer. apologies if i missed it. i'm stuck part way through adding a new physical volume to LogVol00. i believe that lvm knows about the new drive and is happy with it. BUT, i'm stuck at how to extend the filesystem to include the new space. i hope this isn't a stupid question. however... i believe that the last step in this process is to extend the ext2/3 fs into the new area. i believe that i have to do that to the logical volume which contains it. it seemed simple: boot off the rescue disk and do: resize2fs -p /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 BUT... if i do the chroot in rescue mode, resize complains that its a mounted filesystem. and if i don't do the chroot, there is no such path in /dev to be resized. is the -f switch to resize2fs safe to use when chrooted because it's in rescue mode? or have i missed something quite ovbious here? thank folks! john
