resizefs.reiser4

resizefs.reiser4

[Sean Johnson]

From looking at the help, it appears that all I need to do to resize a
reiserfs4 partition to 15G is:

resizefs.reiser4 /dev/device 15G

Unfortunately, when I do that, it just spits back the options to me.
This is an lvm device, that I just expanded from 10G to 15G. I've
tried a dozen different variations, and looked at the man page, but
there doesn't seem to be any information about what I'm doing wrong.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean

resizer is not ready for reiser4 yet.

This is not functional code, but a stub that wasn't removed properly.  
We can't get people to buy support contracts for reiser4 unless we make 
some non-essential piece of it proprietary due to the weird psychology 
of free software, and we are flat broke, so....

ext2 also had a proprietary resizer (though not an online one).

I am considering writing a evms fsim (plugin) for the
Reiser4 fs. I was wondering how I might obtain
(licen$e) the code for resizefs and any other user
space tools which are *not implemented yet*.

Tell me about your business.  Do you sell proprietary software or?  Who 
do you work for?

Hans,

I responded to your inquiry for more information
outside of this mailing list. I have not yet received
a response, so I will attempt once more via the
mailing list, just in case you do not answer or
receive direct emails.

If you did not receive my email or it was filtered,
let me know, otherwise I will assume you do not have
any interest in my project.

Regards,
John Baxter

It is 5% of the cost of the storage system you use it on, and includes 
full reiser4 support as a freebie.  If you spend more than $1000 on it, 
you get cell phones of developers and the right to wake us in an emergency.
