Hi all,

Is it possible, safely, to resize /var while a server is running? I urgently
need to resize a full 2GB /var on a running server which is located at a
remote location where no one can get to it for 2 days?

The system runs on lvm.

I already moved /var/logs to it's own LVM partition but it didn't help at
all so I think it's better to rather just resize it. Google searches suggest
taking the server offline, or boot into single mode. But this won't be
possible for another 2 or so days and I urgently need to install more
software on the server.

tia :)
