I had the same problem when trying to merge partitions and grow a filesystem. It was really quite scary to see the /home remounted while in the middle of re-partitioning and re-sizing (I had to spend some time diffing the result against a backup to make sure it was OK).
Unless you are running A FS such as ReiserFs which supports resizing while mounted, then trying to resize while in multi-user mode is going to be risky.
No, not really. You umount the partition, and nobody except root can mount it again, and it will not mount automatically. Then you can manipulate it to your heart content - that is, unless you change the partition table and you get the message "failed to convince the kernel to re-read the changes, reboot". This worked till systemd changed this particular behaviour and mounted automatically things that the administrator umounted. No matter what fstab says, if I, root, do "umount", I want it to stay till I "mount". (Warning: please, no systemd bashing here. We are trying to find workaraounds) - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
