Hi hackers,

how hard would it be to implement resizing of mounted filesystems?
Currently, growfs requires the filesystem to be unmounted, and this is
definitely a showstopper for FreeBSD when it comes to production use.

I'd really like to promote FreeBSD more in my organisation, where we
currently use mostly AIX, and I often hear (and have to say that it's
true) that the AIX LVM is so robust, stable and quite easy to use.

Could this feature be implemented once FreeBSD 5.0 is out with its
filesystem snapshot?

best regards,
le
