hi,
I am running out of space on /usr. It's a logical volume (LogVol00) under
LVM (Volume00). I do have free space on Volume00
I did Lvextend -L +500MB /dev/Volume00/LogVol00
Now how do I extend actual filesystem?
It's RHEL ES release 3. Filesystem is EXT3. LVM 1.0.3 Kernal 2.4.21

I tried resize2fs and but that is not working because I am unable unmount
/usr

Thanks

You have to unmount the volume in RHEL 3.

It may be necessary to log in as root (no sudo!) or reboot into single user mode to unmount a volume.

# umount /dev/Vol01/<vol>

Do a forced filesystem check

# e2fsck -f /dev/Vol01/<vol>

Extend the file system to new size

# sudo resize2fs /dev/Vol01/<vol>

Remount the volume

# mount /mount/point

Resizing a volume while still mounted requires a 2.6 kernel, lvm2-2.02 and above, e2fsprogs 1.39 and above
