Hi, I've successfully resized (grow & decrease) LVMs within a given Volume Group numerous times. Now I'd like to resize a Volume Group AND its parent partition, and am unclear as to the right/safe method. I have: /dev/sda 500 GB "/boot" /dev/sda1 200 MB LinuxNative, Ext4 (unallocated space) 100 GB /dev/sda3 200 GB LinuxLVM VG0 200 GB "/" (root) LV_A 50 GB Ext4 "/home" LV_B 100 GB Ext4 I'd like to (1) grow /dev/sda3 at the "front end" to use up the available 100 GB (2) grow the VG0 to use 100% of the now-larger /dev/sda3 Since "/" is ON the target partition, I've tried booting from the Opensuse 11.2 Live KDE CD and using its Partition Manager, but it tells me that /dev/sda4 is "in use", and unavailable for edit/resize. Before I go trying more brute-force methods, and subsequently losing my data, I thought I'd ask -- what's the RIGHT way to get this expansion done?
