Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #308973, revision 2 Title: Tool to do on-line "ext3" filesystem extension openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Dennis Olsson (dol2009) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently it is not possible to do on-line extension of mounted " ext3 " file systems, while the necessary userland tool "ext2online" is missing, although the kernel (seems to) support(s) it. Have always wonder, why this tool was never added to "openSUSE/SLEx"... Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Especially when using file systems under LVM control, the benefit of being able to do on-line extension of a mounted file system increases the usefulness of e.g. server, while not being forced to take the applications down during the file system extension. + Discussion: + #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-02-14 20:57:51) + Uh, it *is* currently possible. + 20:56 yaguchi:~ # df /mnt + Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on + /dev/md1                 63397      5402     54722   9% /mnt + 20:56 yaguchi:~ # resize2fs /dev/md1 + resize2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) + Filesystem at /dev/md1 is mounted on /mnt; on-line resizing required + old desc_blocks = 1, new_desc_blocks = 1 + Performing an on-line resize of /dev/md1 to 130880 (1k) blocks. + The filesystem on /dev/md1 is now 130880 blocks long. + 20:56 yaguchi:~ # df /mnt + Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on + /dev/md1                126739      5657    114547   5% /mnt -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308973
