Ext3 users - Dec 2002 - growfs

Hi,

We have recently switched from XFS to ext3 do to various corruption
scenarios that were witnessed.
Does ext3 have something like xfs_growfs for growing the FS to the end
of the underlying partition?

Thanks,
Menny

You want resize2fs, which is included in e2fsprogs.  I've used it a
number of times, with excellent results.  Note that while you must run
xfs_growfs with the volume mounted, resize2fs must be run on an
unmounted volume.  resize2fs will also insist that you run fsck -f on
the volume before resizing, as a safety measure.
