Right on. Even though it's impractical to have your root partition in LVM
these days. Resizing online would be a *major* boon to some of my current
projects. The feature would need to be in the main kernel however, otherwise
I'd need to reboot to get a kernel that can resize online :-)
These 'enterprise features' are really great - 'release your inner mainframe
desire'.
