shrinking needs to be done off line but growing on line File systems has
not given me any trouble to date.
I expect that the likelihood of problems with this is proportional to
the distance from your current location to the server though ;-)

Hi Brendan,
I've also safely grown LVM volumes online, but /var is a bit more trickey since a lot of stuff runs straight from it .So I don't want to attempt this if it's going to break the whole system.
