Hi hackers, how hard would it be to implement resizing of mounted filesystems? Currently, growfs requires the filesystem to be unmounted, and this is definitely a showstopper for FreeBSD when it comes to production use. I'd really like to promote FreeBSD more in my organisation, where we currently use mostly AIX, and I often hear (and have to say that it's true) that the AIX LVM is so robust, stable and quite easy to use. Could this feature be implemented once FreeBSD 5.0 is out with its filesystem snapshot? best regards, le --=20 Lukas Ertl eMail: l.ertl@univie.ac.at UNIX-Systemadministrator Tel.: (+43 1) 4277-14073 Zentraler Informatikdienst (ZID) Fax.: (+43 1) 4277-9140 der Universit=E4t Wien http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
