John,

  thanks - not sure why it didn't occur to me to do a rescue disk
attempt at extending :)

I'll give that a shot.

Thanks,

Kevin

Well, I looked at the original message and thought "oh dear, what a
mess, where to start?"

On RHEL3, I'd do this by booting a rescue disk and extending the logical

volume and file system off line.   In fact, I have done just that at
least once and it works just fine.

Did you re-run mkinitrd?   (The linuxrc in there contains a line to
mount the root logical volume as /sysroot.)   That *might* fix things up

and then you can delete the old logical volume.  If not, undo what
you've done so far, delete the new logical volume and go back to doing
an off-line resize.

ext2online isn't available (or doesn't work, or both) for RHEL3, you
need to do file system resizing off line.   If it's the root file system

that means booting off a rescue disk.
