Operating Systems Linux Red Hat How to resize filesystem by resizing the LUN without impact to applications.? Post 302830419 by Just Ice on Monday 8th of July 2013 05:50:24 PM

there never was a question about being able to resize a filesystem while it is running ... given that a reboot is to be avoided as much as possible, i am assuming that the processes in question are hyper-critical ...
