Re: [Fedora-xen] FC5/Xen LVM resize question

Hi,
im playing around with Xen and FC5. There is one thing i dont get
working. When i resize a logical volume in dom0 with lvextend, and
this volume is used and mounted in a domU, it seems that the domU does
not notice the new size of the partition until rebooted. ext2online
does nothing, fdisk reports the old size.
the kernel wouldn't be aware of the size change hence why fdisk reports
the old size. try running "partprobe" - it basically tells the kernel to
reread the partition table
Should this work somehow without rebooting the domU, or is this the
intended behavior?
I think, i could create a volume goup inside of a domU and add space
to the domU by adding new block devices and adding their space to the
volume group. But is this really a clever way of doing this, or are
there any easier ways?
Thanks a lot,
Heinz
