[Ocfs-users] Resizing partitions using OCFS?

We're getting ready to start work with Oracle 9iRAC on Red Hat Advanced Server 
2.1.  One thing I'm curious about, that I haven't found an answer for in the 
docs, is how to handle partition resizing with OCFS.

We have found on our Oracle 8i/Solaris systems that we have the need on 
occasion to expand partitions to make room for more data.  Under Solaris with 
non-shared storage, we do this via Veritas Volume Manager and vxfs.

However, it doesn't appear that this would work for OCFS and Linux.  I suppose 
to expand the underlying partition, you could set up the partitions with LVM, 
and expand them that way, but I haven't seen any facility to expand the 
actual OCFS filesystem.

How do OCFS users address this situation?

Thanks,
Wade
