LVM resizing

[hbrhodes <hbrhodes@gmail.com>]

i bought two 400 gig hard drive IDE's ... i installed FC5 base on the 
thing with a cd and then shut down.  i installed the other three hard 
drives (and removed the cd-rom) and turned it back on.  i have 
everything done for resizing the hard drives but i cannot get the 
(insert expletives) hard-drive to umount so i can resize2fs the LogVol.  
i've tried making a usb boot disk and i cannot figure out how to get a 
command prompt from there.  i tried to do a network nfs install after 
vi'ing the /etc/exports file so i could have access from the other 
computer where i want to store things.  but it won't let me umount the / 
file system, heh.

so i tried the boot disk again and sought installing via the nfs 
method.  it wouldn't find the iso image and then when i tried to access 
the files via a folder i extracted them too, it still wouldn't work.  i 
put (ro) properties to the folders and everything belongs to root, but i 
think the installer does too.  'sides, it is (ro).

/etc/exports
/misc/temp/    192.168.100.100(ro)   # where the FC5 files are extracted.

status of nfs is started and everything is running.  i haven't messed 
with hosts.deny or allow, they both have default entries which i think 
is nil.

#entries/ efforts for LVM resizing are as follows:
pvcretae -ff /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdd1   # yep, had to force the 
last two drives
vgextend VolGroup01 | grep "Total PE"       # those three hard drives 
had Total PE = 28681 but i could only use 28619 (-62)
lvextend -l 28619 /dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

and that is as far as i have gotten!
