I hate to bring this up, since this opinion was slapped down before, but: This is exactly why we run even our root in a LVM volume group. It's simply not true that you *never* need to resize root, here's someone else who needed to, and is having a PITA doing it. Ideally, of course, you want to be at suse9/redhat4 or above, so you can do an ext2online filesystem expansion, without taking the system down. Otherwise, even with volume groups, you still have to drop into single user mode. - -- Pat Mark Post wrote: > It turns out there's one more thing you need to do before running resize2fs > (assuming you did use DDR or dd to do the copying of the whole > minidisk/device).
