[opensuse-factory] ext3 online resize

Hi Is there any possibility that we will see online resize of ext3 filesystems supported in 10.3 hopefully with yast?

Let me double check first: ext2 is working, isn't it? So, you propose ext3 to allow the same? Do the tools support it?

The tools should support this since quite some time: Online resizing (of course only growth) is supported since Kernel 2.6.10. The first userland tool has been ext2online, which we have shipped as part of e2fsprogs. The functionality has also been merged into resize2fs of e2fsprogs in version 1.39. So 10.2 has them both, ext2online and resize2fs. Since ext2online seems to be not maintained anymore I've dropped this in factory.

Yes the tools work when I do it manually. But I would love seeing yast to handle it. Today yast lvm_config and yast disk tells me this: --- The logical volume is currently mounted on /test. It is not possible to resize the file system while it is mounted. Unmount the file system and retry resizing. --- This is both with ext2 and ext3. But reiserfs still works like a charm.

Can you please adjust your mail tool? Your mails are looking like quoting only former mails. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)

I think that is a bug of the list server (mlmmj). Some people using gmail webmail post using base64 encoding: | MIME-Version: 1.0 | Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed | Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 | Content-Disposition: inline When the list mailer adds the unsubscribe footer, it does so in plain text... breaking it. The result is the strange looking text quoted above. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Then let's file it as feature for the future. Thanks for the info, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
