Hi,
I just installed the trial of RHEL4, I noted that the autopartition selected a LVM configuration for the root partition.
I wanted to know if it is posible to add a new partition and then resize the root partition.

I have tryied but could not make the ext3 filesistem to grow. The lv have become bigger, but not the filesystem.

How can I resize the filesystem too?

Thanks
Oliver

RH4 supports online resizing of filesystems, read the release-notes
(http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/release-notes/as-x86/)
