Re: [Xen-users] growing file systems

[Brock Palen <brockp@xxxxxxxxx>]

sfdisk --re-read /dev/hdb

gave me this:
sfdisk: cannot open /dev/hdb for reading

I was forced to reboot the domU and rerun xfs_growfs and it worked  
fine.  Though this is much less than optimal. and half the reason i  
use xfs :(
anyone else know of a reliable live filesystem grower ?
