hi,
im playing around with Xen and FC5. There is one thing i dont get working. When i resize a logical volume in dom0 with lvextend, and this volume is used and mounted in a domU, it seems that the domU does not notice the new size of the partition until rebooted.
stupid question: did you resize the filesystem after extending the logical volume ?
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.9
this works for me: - shutdown DomU - extend LV in Dom0 - extend filesystem in Dom0 - restart (create) domU
Should this work somehow without rebooting the domU, or is this the intended behavior?
in theory, with a filesystem that allows online-resizing (see link above), it shouldn't be necessary to shutdown DomU. But haven't tried yet.
I think, i could create a volume goup inside of a domU and add space to the domU by adding new block devices and adding their space to the volume group. But is this really a clever way of doing this, or are there any easier ways?
extending the logical volume in Dom0 is surely a more elegant approach.
