How did you copy the root filesystem to a larger minidisk?

Just using DDR won't work.  You have to mount the new (larger) minidisk,
 go to run level 1 (where there is minimal activity on the system),
copy the files to the new minidisk, make it bootable, then boot from the
new minidisk.  That is somewhat simplified and I think there may be a
howto on linuxvm.org.

I'm trying to find a way to get zLinux to recognized the increase in space
after I copied the root filesystem to a larger minidisk. It starts up just
fine, but it doesn't *see* the increase.  Does anyone know what I have to
do from a Linux perspective to accomplish this?  I'm playing around with
LVM and plan on using that in the future.  I guess I'm more curious that
anything else as to if this can be done.
