similar to: online resize of ext3 possible?

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

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

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. What is the state of ext2resize for Ext3? How about the online-ext3-patch? Regards, Christian -- * Christian A.

Consider this section: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.14 I have not done this before and I'm leary about Step 11 which is resizing the filesystem after doing a mkraid command. This howto lacks any ext3 documentation. Some questions I have are: 1. Should I convert back to ext2 on all my filesystems before I do a mkraid? 2. If I leave the system at ext3, will the

Hi, I'm about to roll out a whole bunch of Redhat Enterprise 4 workstations and have run into problems cloning from the original. Normally I would use ghost (v7.5) because it does a nice job when cloning to a different sized disk.Unfortunately it comes up with read error 29004. Looking around it seems that Symantec don't support Fedora Core 3 (with Ghost v.8 - don't know if v.9 works

Hello, First off, I'm not sure if my problem is with my filesystem, or with my partition table, so this may or may not be the appropriate list for this question - if not, I'd appreciate being pointed to a more appropriate forum. My problem is that when trying to resize, copy or move my ext3 partition in parted, I get the following error: No Implementaion: this ext2 filesystem has a rather

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?

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

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

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

I'm getting ready to add some memory to a server running RH7.3 with ext3. I'm going to need to add more space to the swap partition and so I'll also need to resize an ext3 partition. I've seen some posts by searching the list that the resize2fs should work fine, but the man pages don't mention anything about ext3. Version is: resize2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Has anyone actually

Hello everybody, I''m playing with Xen and trying to extend DomU disk space. My Configuration: Dom0: all Xen machine are HVM. They''re installed on LVM.

Greetings - I am going through some testing steps to expand a logical volume and the corresponding filesystem on a KVM guest and have run across a deficiency in my knowledge. I spent the afternoon yesterday googling for answers, but had have come up blank still. What I am trying to do is resize the file system to use the additional disk space that I added to the logical volume that the

Just want to verify: CentOS 5's FS utilities are too old to safely resize a *live* (mounted, etc.) root file system (and the CentOS 5 installer/rescue system does not include either resize2fs or fsadm utilities). I am presuming I will need a full-fledged Live CD/DVD to resize the root file system. This is for an old 32-bit laptop that presently has CentOS 5.11 on it -- I want to shrink
