Is it possible that i log into the server with ssh and
umount only /var and
then resize the logical volume?
Yes, but you'll have to stop a lot of daemons and other
processes that
run with files opened in /var.
You can find the processes accessing /var with lsof or fuser: # fuser -mv /var # lsof /var
I stopped all services except sshd and fuser and lsof doesn't show me any files, but i still can't unmount /var :-(
# umount /var umount: /var: device is busy umount: /var: device is busy
Ayn ideas?
/var is required for multi-user mode.
Try bringing the system to single-user mode 'init 1' and then try it.
