LVM, resize /, & FC3 defaults

[Gordon Ewasiuk]

Hi Fedora List,

Ran into a problem with LVM and FC3.  I can work around the problem but 
was curious if anyone here has experienced the roadblock I hit.

I installed FC3 in a testbed.  I accepted the default partition scheme 
which defaulted to LVM use on a single drive.

A few weeks later, I went to resize the LVM partition.  First I had resize 
the ext3 filesystem with resize2fs.  I couldn't do a resize operation on a 
mounted / partition.  Not a problem.  I boot from Rescue CD...

which can't see LVM partitions?

I understand the technical problems about a generic rescue CD detecting 
the infinite number of possible LVM combinations and configurations.  That 
led me to wonder about the wisdom of having LVM as the default during 
installation of FC3.

Comments please?
