FC4 Up to date
I went to do an Upgrade to FC5 and I don't have enough room on my system
(which is a VMware Instance). So I thought well lets just extend the
Logical Volume. The only problem is that LogVol00 is mounted to /. My
head is sore from trying to find a way to run resize2fs on this LV when
it is mounted on /. Is this even possible? I guess I could create a
new LV in VolGroup00 and mount it to /var, but I started down this road
and I'm kinda hoping I can figure it out.
So far I've done:
pvcreate /dev/sdb
vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sdb
lvextend -l 267 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /dev/sdb
all worked fine, but of course:
resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 - doesn't work because its mounted.
Any suggestions would be great. I am working out the /var to a LV thing
but...
You can try this:
# ext2online /
However, with a size change as big as that it probably won't be able to
help you. You'll need to boot from the rescue/install CD to resize the
filesystem using resize2fs.
