Re: [opensuse] Expanding disk space for an LVM
Hi, See http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/410 It IS possible to resize EXT3 FS without unmounting. But be prepared to have a backup, just i case Dominique
calanet@gmail.com 07/13/06 4:37 PM >>> I have a server that cannot be easily scheduled to come down. In there, I have an LVM over serveral external disks that has become full (df -kP). Using yast2, I added new volumes to the volume-group. I need now to expand one of the mount-points that is defined as ext3. How can I do it without having to umount/mount the mount point? is there such a thing as a resize_ext3?

I think the table is wrong. I know for a fact that xfs, jfs and reiser can be resized while MOUNTED. The problem is with ext2 and ext3. I learned there is a utility named resize2fs and ext2resize. Also, e2fsadm. http://ext2resize.sourceforge.net has anybody have much experience resizing while ext2/3 files systems are on-line? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
