[Fedora-xen] FC5/Xen LVM resize question

Hi,

im playing around with Xen and FC5. There is one thing i dont get 
working. When i resize a logical volume in dom0 with lvextend, and 
this volume is used and mounted in a domU, it seems that the domU does 
not notice the new size of the partition until rebooted. ext2online 
does nothing, fdisk reports the old size.

Should this work somehow without rebooting the domU, or is this the 
intended behavior?

I think, i could create a volume goup inside of a domU and add space 
to the domU by adding new block devices and adding their space to the 
volume group. But is this really a clever way of doing this, or are 
there any easier ways?

Thanks a lot,
Heinz
