I used to take this approach also, until the umpteenth time I wanted to add just a little more space to a file system, and I had to wind up copying the entire contents off to a bigger piece of disk, verifying the copy is good, unmounting, remounting the new one, retiring the old piece of disk. Now, I just: umount /dev/vgname/lvname e2fsadm -L +??M /dev/vgname/lvname mount /dev/vgname/lvname
I like that a lot better.
