[BlueOnyx:10499] Re: Increasing size of hard drive

[Dogsbody]

With LVM this is really easy.  Especially if you don't want to resize 
the root partition.

To grow /backup to 500GB I used...

     vgdisplay
     lvextend -L500G /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol06
     umount /backup
     e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol06
     resize2fs -p /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol06
     mount /backup

... if you want to do the same thing with the root partition then you 
have to boot from a Live CD first and do pretty much the same thing.
