Yes the tools work when I do it manually. But I would love seeing yast
to handle it.
Today yast lvm_config and yast disk tells me this:

---
The logical volume is currently mounted on /test.
It is not possible to resize the file system while it is mounted.

Unmount the file system and retry resizing.

This is both with ext2 and ext3. But reiserfs still works like a charm.
