...me-server with 2 IDE 160GB MAXTOR HDD / RAID-1, LVM and ext3 partitions. Previous OS on this machine was FC2. I often "play" with LVM and, sometimes, have to extand or reduce some volumes size. I was surprised to see that resize2fs isn''t included anymore ! The replacing tool is ext2online but this one seems to only be able to grow a filesystem (not reducing it). What tool do I have to use to shrink a ext3 filesystem ? Also the simple command-line tool "tree" doesn''t look to be included in this release ? Is that the case also for RHEL4 ? If so, I can''t u...

Hi all I am having some trouble using the ext2online utility, I have reduced the problem down to its simplist form, and it goes soemthing like this: Start with a regular msdos labelled disk (I have tried lvm volumes): Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdb: 18.3 GB, 18351967232 bytes 64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 17501 cylinders Units = cylinders o...

hello all, I am trying to expand my /var file system which resides on a logical volume. I successfully issued the lvextend command.

Hello, As a Virtuozzo users we have majority of our diskspace formatted with -i 1024 -b 1024. Lately I discovered that on CentOS 4.6 ext2online barfs when I try to grow such filesystem.

hello, on Slackware 9.1 I have e2fsprogs 1.34 and lvm 1.0.7. In lvm package I have e2fsadm command;in e2fsprogs package I have resize2fs command. In man page for e2fsadm it refers to ext2online to extend a mounted file system, but I have not that command. Where can I find it? On my system I have resize2fs. is it the same of ext2resize or they are different programs? Are they mantained in parallel? In which comprehensive package can I find ext2online? Is it production ready? Thanks in adv...

I'm running CentOS 5.2 x x86_64. I did an lvextend of a logical volume, and proceeded to run one of the ext2 utilities (e.g. ext2online, ext2resize) and found to my surprise that it wasn't on there. So I started googling around, and as far as I can see, though I'm not sure, they're supposed to be a part of the e2fsprogs package. Well, it's installed on the system, at least the x86_64 version is. Should I be down...

Hi. I'm attempting to setup a box here to be a file-server for all my data. I'm attempting to resize an ext3 partition to demonstrate this capability to myself before fully committing to this system as the primary data storage. I'm having some problems resizing an ext3 filesystem after I've resized the underlying logical volume. Following the ext3 resize, fsck spits out lots

If that is indeed true, why woud LVM be "measurably > better? While I am no LVM expert, it seems that ext2online does what you want. My CentOS4 box here has ext2online included; I have not had a chance to try it out, so I can't comment on how well it works. However, what I have read is that the LVM2 metadata format is more robust and removes many of the limitations of LVM1. In trying to check on this,...

What's the easiest way to transition to a larger HD when using LVM2? I'm running Centos 4.4. I'm going from a 20gb HD to a 40gb HD. I've already DD'd it to the 40gb HD. So now I have 20gb of unused space. Ideally, I'd like to make it one big physical space for the logical space instead of making another physical partition to expand the logical. Here is what I have now

Given that no 1.36 has appeared from Fedora Core, I thought I would create the rpm myself. I took the 1.35-11.2 src.rpm from FC3 and updated the spec file for 1.36. However, the build fails. Has anyone successfully created a 1.36 rpm for FC3? If so, what did you need to do? Gene
