Is it possible to unmount /tmp without booting into a LiveCD of some
kind? I have it on LVM and have extended the logical volume size, but
the filesystem is ext3 and the recommendation is to unmount it before
running resize2fs.

Thanks,

Well you can run `lsof | grep tmp` to see what programs have files open in tmp. Kill them (if appropriate / possible), then unmount tmp, resize at will, and then restart the things you killed. Alternatively, comment it out from /etc/fstab, reboot, resize, uncomment, and run `mount /tmp`.

Best of luck,
