I'm having a problem adding disks to my root partition, which is using LVM. The quick summary is that I think I need to run resize2fs on the root partition, but I can't figure out how to unmount the root partition to do so. The longer version of the story... I'm running Fedora Core 2, and when I installed I had the root partition configured to be on two disks using LVM. I added two more disks to the computer and followed the howto to initialize the disks, add the physical volumes to the volume group, and extend the logical volume. When I run "lvdisplay" I see my logical volume is the correct size, but "df" only shows the original size. I'm assuming this is because I haven't done a "resize2fs". The reason I haven't is because I can't figure out how to unmount the root filesystem in order to do this. If I boot with linux rescue, I can choose not to mount the filesystems, but then the LVM devices don't exist. I read somewhere that running "lvm vgscan -v --mknodes" should do the trick, but as far as I could tell, no devices were created. Any ideas on how I can get the root partition resized to include the new disks?
