Growing an ext3 partition built on LVM

This is pleasant surprise, it just takes a few simple steps:

1. If necessary, stop NFS exporting the filesystem (e.g. /etc/init.d/nfsserver stop)
2. Unmount the filesystem: umount /backups
3. Check the filesystem: e2fsck -f /dev/home-srvr/backups
4. Grow the partition: lvextend -L +100G /dev/home-srvr/backups
5. Grow the filesystem: resize2fs /dev/home-srvr/backups
6. Mount it again: mount /dev/home-srvr/backups
7. Restart the NFS server
