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.
Paul.
Well I'm up for that (rescue), but how? I did try that and I couldn't
figure out how to call the /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 with resize2fs.
