I can't believe nobody has any help to offer on this... Usually, there
is a response to everything. Anyone?
Thanks,
Kevin

Subject: resize "/" under LVM
Hi,
I just used kickstart to install 3 systems with U6. I used the
same partition sizes as I had previously used with RH9, and
unfortunately I now have about 700 bytes free in "/". Is it possible to
extend this filesystem under LVM?
I tried creating a new LVOL (lvolslash) that is bigger, copying all the
contents of / (lvol1) to it, changing /etc/fstab and /etc/grub.conf to
point to the new lvolslash. The system reboots fine, and a "df" shows my
new lvol mounted as root. However, the df also shows the size of my
original lvol1 and says it is mounted when I try to resize2fs it...
Can I fix this? Is the ext2online command functional on RHEL 3? I'd
prefer not to redo thepost work I have already completed.
Thanks,
Kevin
