Sorry Reindl. I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying I did or didn't do the right thing in booting from a CentOS rescue disk? At the moment it's running from the rescue disk and, be it the best distro to have used (or not), I would imagine that I need to keep running from the rescue disk until the reshape is complete as rebooting in the middle of a reshape is what got me in this mess.
