Peeling back a layer and looking at what you are really trying to achieve, you might find that your best solution would be this: ... ". Don't put your root filesystem in an LVM. The small benefit of having it resizable is far outweighed by the setup cost and the maintenance difficulties you will get when things go wrong. Anything which is big and which might cause you to want to have a bigger root filesystem shouldn't be in there, and should be in one of your other filesystems instead. If you don't have a suitable filesystem for the new big thing, you can just create one --- you have an LVM! Bill -- William H.
