Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.37-2sarge1 Severity: normal I have a vg (/dev/system_vg) with several lv on it. I extended one lv (/dev/system_vg/media_lv) which worked fine. Now I want to extend the ext3 file system on it from 20 GB to 40 GB. So I do the following:
remaxp:~# env LANG=C resize2fs /dev/system_vg/media_lv
resize2fs 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/system_vg/media_lv' first.
remaxp:~# env LANG=C e2fsck -f /dev/system_vg/media_lv
e2fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
/scr/media: 2631/2621440 files (24.3% non-contiguous), 3830718/5242880
blocks
remaxp:~# env LANG=C resize2fs /dev/system_vg/media_lv
resize2fs 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/system_vg/media_lv' first.
This continues. I do not do anything beside running these commands,
but resize2fs does not work. Looking in the man page, I only see the
"-f" option, but I am a little reluctant to use it...
I attach the output of dumpe2fs for this file system (before
resizing).
Since the lvm-tools always required /dev/system_vg/* to work, I
assumed the ext2tools would do the same. Now, however, I try to work
with the /dev/mapper-paths, and voila: it works:
remaxp:~# env LANG=C resize2fs /dev/mapper/system_vg-media_lv
resize2fs 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/system_vg-media_lv' first.
remaxp:~# env LANG=C e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/system_vg-media_lv

Resizing the filesystem on /dev/mapper/system_vg-media_lv to 10485760 (4k)
blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/mapper/system_vg-media_lv is now 10485760 blocks long.

Please adjust severity, but IMHO "resize2fs" should print a proper
error message, or maybe hint to try the other path to the lv.
If you need more/further info, please tell me which.
