In fc3 Can I umount a Logical Volume which is mounted auto in fstab?
I would like to extend an LVM2 volume without rebooting, but I need to unmount the volume when I do the file system extend. the volume is mounted auto in fstab, and fuser -v shows that it is in use by the kernel . Is there a way to umount the volume without modifying fstab to noauto and rebooting?
I could mount it noauto in fstab and mount it in an initialization script. (In Fedora, add
mount <mount point>
to /etc/local.rc). Is there a better way?
Using noauto plus an init script works for this filesystem, since it is not needed for system init, but I want to be able to use it on my running system without bothering to mount it.
I am adding an RFE for a "deferred" mount option in fstab, which would eliminate the need for the bypass.I mentioned ealier. Otherwise, I consider this issue closed.
