    Hi,

    i manage my Debian server via SSH. When i want to increase the size of a
    lv (i use LVM),
    i usually go to runlevel 1 and then do the business that i need to do.
    Off course, in the process
    of going to runlevel 1, the SSH connection is killed and i can't log
    back in.
    The reason that i go to run level 1 is that it closes running programs
    that otherwise
    might prevent an umount. I always get some sort of program holding on to
    the device
    that i want to resize so going to runlevel 1 solves that.

    Is there anyway that i can keep the network in runlevel 1 or should i
    just customize
    another runlevel for this kind of maintenance?

    Thanks,
    Benedict
