You don't need a rescue CD, and you can even do it while the filesystem is mounted! This following example resizes the "data" LV of the "ravenclaw" volume group. The first step is to increase the LV size by 2 GiB. Then, we resize the filesystem contained on the LV to fit into the larger space available to it (if you aren't using ext2/ext3, you'll need to use the tool for your specific filesystem). lvresize -L +2G /dev/ravenclaw/data resize2fs /dev/ravenclaw/data Obviously shrinking is a little more involved size you might need to move things in order to shrink it, so unmounting might be necessary. However, for your case, you don't even need to log out! Regards, Roger -- .''`.
