Greetings - I had a logical volume that was running out of space on a virtual machine. I successfully expanded the LV using lvextend, and lvdisplay shows that it has been expanded. Then I went to expand the filesystem to fill the new space (# resize2fs -p /dev/vde1) and I get the results that the filesystem is already xx blocks long, nothing to do. If I do a # df -h, I can see that the

Hi guys, I''ve seen this post regarding "lvm resize" and this contains all the information I need to resize a disk inside domU : http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-11/msg00019.html >From this post: "With this I can extend the LVs in the Dom0, and either shutdown the DomU and resize2fs from Dom0 or even (tested on test VMs and low-use

Greetings - I am hoping someone can confirm for me the steps that I am using to add an LV to an existing Guest in KVM, and what I am seeing as I do some of these steps. My host (earth) is CentOS 6 and so is my guest (disect). The guest (disect) is my testing server. The main objective of what I am trying to do is add a logical volume for /var into my guest. The LV (lv_disectvar) is part

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. Running it with -v -d, it prints lots of lines like: ext2online v1.1.18 - 2001/03/18 for EXT2FS 0.5b ext2online: 873646830 is a bad size for an ext2 fs! rounding down to 873644033 ... group NNN inode table has

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=755729 This bug reports that the error message printed by the resize2fs API calls (which comes directly from the resize2fs command) says: Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/vda1' first. That command is not possible from guestfish (where it would be 'e2fsck-f' or 'e2fsck ... forceall:true'). Fixing that bug caused this bug:

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.

Hello everyone! I am working on resizing qcow2 images using virt-resize+liguestfs. E.g. I when shrinking a partition, I have to resize filesystem using resize2fs-size. The problem is that I cannot find out minimal partition size (aka resize2fs -P). The only way is calling "resize2fs-size 1K", wait for resize2fs to claim "resize2fs: New size smaller than minimum (510050)"

Hello, I am using Xen 4.0.1 and Xen 3.2.1 dom0 with Debian Lenny and Squeeze dom0s. I have a bunch of virtual machines running , all using LVM as backend storage. Mostly, an LVM logical volume is mapped to a partition in the VM (eg: xvda1) I have tried to hot resize the filesystem in the VM without umounting it but it just do not work...

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

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
