Sure coulda fooled me.
# lvextend -L +2G /dev/vg0/home
Extending logical volume home to 18.70 GB
Logical volume home successfully resized
# mount
/dev/mapper/vg0-home on /home type ext3 (rw)
# resize2fs /dev/vg0/home
resize2fs 1.39-WIP (31-Dec-2005)
/dev/vg0/home is mounted; can't resize a mounted filesystem!
ext3 is also annoying in that it forces an fsck before it can be
resized. Isn't that the whole point of a journal?
