I thought the storage groups feature was not coming out until .21 gets
released?

/video is a mount point  /videotemp is also a mount point.

I have copied all the data in /video under /videotemp.

mv /video to /video2 failed because it is a mount point.  if I umount /video
I can make the space for /video part of the /videotemp mount point, but I'm
still not gaining what I want because /videotemp still can't be moved to
/video

Alright.. Since I had a backup I took a leap of faith and umount ed /video
and mount ed it to /video2.  I changed directories to /video2 and all my
stuff was there..

I basically ran this in case anyone tries this in the future:

umount /video
umount /videotemp
mount /dev/VGforMyth/video /video
vgextend VGforMyth /dev/sdb5
resize2fs /dev/VGforMyth/video (This works for ext3 filesystems under fedora
core 6 YMMV)

Now I want to modify fstab table so that everything mounts on bootup.. What
do I do? This is what I have now:
LABEL=/video            /video                  ext3    defaults        1 2
I think I want to replace that line with this:
LABEL=/video            /dev/VGforMyth/video   ext3    defaults        1 2

Is that correct?
