[linux-lvm] FC5 Increase LV in VolGroup00

[linux-lvm] FC5 Increase LV in VolGroup00

[Patrick Nelson]

FC4 - Up to date

I'm trying to figure out how to increase the size of VolGroup00/LogVol00 
on my FC4 install.  This is the root dir and I can not unmount it.

I figure some one can give me the step by step way of doing this because 
I have tried everything I can think of to do this, including:

- booting to rescue mode
- going to single user mode


But no matter what I try I can not resize this LV.  If anyone has done 
this can you please help me with the steps to do this.  I'm adding a new 
drive (pv) and I have done the following:

- pvcreate /dev/sdb
- vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sdb
- I grabbed the PE from pvdisplay -> 191
- lvextend -l 191 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /dev/sdb

And I need to run resize2fs /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 but I need to 
umount it first. 

Any help greatly appreciated.

I donno if will help, or you can do this, but one thing to do is to 
change /etc/fstab to mount root in some other LV , thus when you reboot 
your LogVol00 will not be mounted...
