$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('crashmaster', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('tomahhunt', 'A')ctually you can resize the disk while active in arch linux.
You can do it - but never it can be a recommendation for everybody.
I just wanted to say it for people watching this thread.
Possibly you can get 'mysterious errors' days, weeks or months later, i never would do it this way but maybe you have lots of luck.
Ok, if a "fsck" is successfully done after operation, the risk is minimized but not totally cleared.
Only my opinion, good luck!

I followed tomahhunt's instructions and it seemed to work ok for me. I brought the system down to single user, remounted root read only, and ran fsck and it didn't find any errors.
Can you explain what sort of "mysterious errors" might show up? I'm wondering how a filesystem could pass an fsck and still have problems that would show up later.

Sort of an addendum to my previous post, would it be safer if you were to go into single user mode and remount the filesystem read only? I.e.,
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
systemctl rescue
mount -o ro,remount /
')
Then follow tomahhunt's recipe. After the reboot go into single user mode and remount root readonly again, then use the
resize2fs command.
I'll try this since I haven't done anything significant to my setup yet.
