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.	Story Points:	---

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)".
