Hi all, I want to setup a linux workstation with FC4 and with all the partitions (except for /boot) under LVM to be able to resize them in future. I don't need online resizing, I can shutdown the system and reboot with the rescuecd when needed. I have done some test on this configuration and I have sverals doubts: If i format a partition with the resize_inode feature enabled and I resize it offline with resize2fs all is ok until I reach (in a single step or in several step) 1000*(Original Size). When i extend a partition over this size I receive a couple of error when I launch fsck.ext3 and the resize_inode feature disappears. If I format a partition without the resize_inode feature then i can resize it to any size, but after the resize the first launch of fsck.ext3 gives always this error: Backing up journal inode block information In both the scenarios after the resize I'm able to mount the partitions. The question is: for offline resizing is better to diseble the resize_inode feature ? Is the error message i wrote really an error ? jjletho P.S. I'm sorry but at the moment the subscription form does not work so if you can put me in cc... ___________________________________ Yahoo!
