----- Original Message ----- | We don't want to allocate too more storage in advance, simply because | it's easier to grow than to shrink. Stop the host, grow the volume, | e2fsck/resize2fs, start up and go. Much nicer than increasing disk | capacity on physical hosts. These might be good for ext3/4, but with gfs and gfs2 you can lvresize and gfs2_grow while the lv is mounted. In fact, we expect it. Just make sure the vg has the clustered bit set (vgchange -cy) first.
