Yes, reasons a plenty! Mostly -- I don't want the down time. To unmount, I'd have to kill everything using the filesystem etc. XFS has xfs_growfs which works on mounted volumes. I *think* resierfs has something similar. ext2 has it as well. Matt -- Matthew Kennedy Gentoo Linux Developer Bugs go to http://bugs.gentoo.org! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
