EVMS doesn't support online expansion of ext3. If you could get ext3 to not try online expansion at all, you should be able to epxand the underlying volume using EVMS and then expand the filesystem using resize2fs. The procedure would look like: 1) Move ext2.*.so from /lib/evms/x.y.z/ to some temporary location 2) Use EVMS to expand the EVMS volume you want to grow 3) Use resize2fs to expand the filesystem 4) Move ext2.*.so back to /lib/evms/x.y.z/ (Loosely based off a question on http://evms.sourceforge.net/faq.html ). There's been some discussion of getting EVMS to support doing ext3 online expansion itself, but I don't think it's ever been implemented.
