So, why would distro's like Red Hat, Fedora and CentOS give the user a chance 
to create a box that had / in a Logical Volume.  I've got a client who is 
looking to add drive space to their box.  And / is 
in /dev/VolGroup00/LogGroup00 so having never added a drive with LVM I go 
googling...  Looks like no big deal to you go to resize your Logical Volume.  
You need to unmount it...  So how do you unmount / and run a command 
(resize2fs).  You use the rescue CD, boot up and it nicely mounts your drives 
in /mnt/sysimage which looks ok until you try to unmount /mnt/sysimage 
(Device is busy).  So has anyone done this?  I've looked high and low and 
found nothing on the net.  I did find fuser -km which is supposed to let me 
unmount /mnt/sysimage.  But guess what?  It doesn't work...  Anyone have any 
ideas or do I need to get out a tape and start backing up.


Mike
