Package: partman-ext3 Version: 40 Severity: important As explained in bug #341703, the Linux kernel has supported online resizing of ext3 file systems since kernel version 2.6.10. This make it possible to increase the file systems without umounting them, a requirement when using Linux as a file server where the services can not be stopped to increase the file system.
To be able to resize an ext3 file system without umounting it, it must be created with the resize_inode option. For example like this: mke2fs -O has_journal,resize_inode /dev/vg_system/lv_test Please change the default setting used by partman when creating an ext3 file system to enable online resizing. An alternative if partman is still creating ext2 and converting it to ext3 using tune2fs -j, is to use the ext2prepare program to add the resize_inode option. mke2fs /dev/vg_system/lv_test tune2fs -j /dev/vg_system/lv_test ext2prepare /dev/vg_system/lv_test Friendly, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
