Debian Squeeze AMD64 with LVM2 on ext3 /root partiton that was full. Thanks for your suggestions and links. I used this link as well,
http://www.radioprosciutto.com/node/7, but did not unmount my root partition after reading the replies. No problems were encountered increasing the /root partition size while it was mounted. I followed the steps below, but did not perform steps 4, 5, and 7.
1. Extend logical volume: root
#lvextend -L +5G /dev/MU/root
2. Verify
#lvdisplay /dev/MU/root
3. Compare filesystem
#df -h /root
4. Unmount not needed
/* #exportfs -u 127.0.0.1:/root */
/* #umount /root */
5. Check filesystem not needed
/* #e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/MU-root */
6. Resize filesystem
#resize2fs -p /dev/mapper/MU/root
7. Mount not needed
/* #mount /root */
8. Verify filesystem
#df -h /root
Thanks for the help!
