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 downloading the i...

I installed CentOS on my home-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

Hi folks, Is it possible to resize an ext3 filesystem while it's online? It looks like resize2fs won't do the trick unless the filesystem is unmounted. And ext2resize takes one look at the filesystem while it's mounted and complains as well, this time about un-supported features. It's not a huge deal if I have to shutdown the system to grow the two filesystems, it's just more annoying. I'm running Debian Unstable, with alot of /unstable and /te...

Hello I have some large Partiton at 2 GB, 4 GB, 7 GB, 13 GB, 25 GB. How big I need the journal for its? Could I resize ext3fs with resize2fs, ext2resize-1.17 (with ext2prepare, ext2online), parted-1.4.21 Tools? The Partititons Magic 5.0 I can't use with ext3 only with ext2. -- MfG / With best Regards Rusmir Duško Registered Linux user: #130654 http://counter.li.org

After upgrading my HD, I am now wishing I left some space for doing snapshots. Is there a way to free up some space so I can get some free PE? Right now I have this: # vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name VolGroup00 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 7 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable

hello: I have been reviewin my message slog and have found the following message: Dec 19 06:27:28 server02 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,7)) in ext3_new_inode: error 28 What is error 28 and should I be worried about it? Ray Turcotte

Hi, We will have to go and use SuSE (30 servers) just because ext3 filesystem cannot be increase while the filesystem is mounted. I Don't understand why RedHat do not support filesystems that can do thing that ext3 cannot do. When is RedHat going to understand that in a production environnement (30 servers that is seems will be SuSE) we need extend filesystem online. IBM JS,

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

I need to find out what the maximum file size in an ext2/3 file system. It appears from the definition of the ext2_inode structure that since the i_size field is a 32 bit integer that the file would be limited by that. Thanks, Jason

...ng 50gigs of space on the drive. I'm wary of trying parition magic again after what it did the last time. Curiously, my 3 remaining partitions are listed in parted as partitions 3-5, even though there are no partitions 1 and 2. I googled for the error message, and found someone advising to use ext2resize... which I downloaded and installed... but it seems to be only for resizing a filesystem to fill its partition, not actually resizing the parition, so it doesn't seem to be what I need. Does anyone have any other ideas? ************************************************************************...

...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 advance, Gianluca

I decided to start using ext3. My kernel 2.4.15p9. I downloaded and build util-linux-2.11m and e2fsprogs 1.25. I compiled ext3 in the kernel. I started converting my filesystems and thing went ok for the first few. I then started getting the following on each additional filesystem. [root@joker /root]# tune2fs -j /dev/hdc4 tune2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001) Creating journal inode: done This filesystem

Hello folks, I had an ext3 filesystem mounted as the root of a Linux MOO server. Unfortunately, the filesystem was on one of the infamous DTLA-3070xx drives - and the drive decided to fail at the worst moment it possibly could, trashing the filesystem fairly well. The situation is as follows: I used dd_rescue to create an image of what is left of the filesystem, but I ended up with some 65MB

I am in the odd situation of needing to revert my root partition back to ext2 so that it may be resized. I prefer to use Partition Magic at the moment and it can only work with partitions of ext2, not ext3. I believe that the documentation for ext3 exists at the main web site, http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/. That is my next destination but as the answer may not exist there, I

hi all, I intend to write a snapshot module for Ext2/3 file-systems. For that i need to make sure that FS is in consistent state before taking snapshot. For ex. in case of UFS, the superblock has a fs_clean flag which is set to be FSSTABLE to tell that its in consistent state. (otherwise its set to FSACTIVE) I m not able to find any such information for Ext2/Ext3. (The

Hello: We trying to configure one machine (Compaq Proliant ML760) with 8 disks (72GB each disk) with RAID. We are thinking to use ext3 and LVM in RedHat 7.2 for manage one filesystem with 500GB.
