RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.The `storage` role can now resize the mounted file systems without unmounting Previously, the `storage` role was unable to resize mounted devices, even if the file system supported online resizing. As a consequence, the `storage` role unmounted all file systems prior to resizing, which failed for file systems that were in use, for example, while resizing the `/` directory of the running system. With this update, the `storage` role now supports resizing mounted file systems that support online resizing such as XFS and Ext4. As a result, the mounted file systems can now be resized without unmounting them.

Description Rich Megginson 2023-02-09 22:43:21 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2168692 +++

The storage role currently cannot resize devices with mounted filesystems that are in use even if the filesystem supports online resize.

The role tries to unmount the device before resizing it and if the filesystem is in use, the unmount operation fails with "blivet.errors.FSError: umount of / failed (32)".
