Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Re: 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.
stupid question: did you resize the filesystem after extending the
logical volume ?
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.9
this works for me:
- shutdown DomU
- extend LV in Dom0
- extend filesystem in Dom0
- restart (create) domU
Should this work somehow without rebooting the domU, or is this the
intended behavior?
in theory, with a filesystem that allows online-resizing (see link
above), it shouldn't be necessary to shutdown DomU. But haven't tried yet.
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?
extending the logical volume in Dom0 is surely a more elegant approach.
