[linux-lvm] reiserfs_resize and lvreduce

[Tobias Wagener]

Hi,

I want to reduce a LV. My question is, will reiserfs_resize move used
blocks in the "reduce"-area on my LV to unused blocks? Or must I do this
for my own by hand? And if how? 

Greetings

I always do it by hand , firts reducing the filesystem to the desired
final size (using resize_reiserfs) and then reducing th LV size to
something larger than the above.

I usually try "lvreduce" with "--test" first, to see the final LV size,
and check if it is larger than the filesystem, and the repeat the above
command once I am sure it will not break anything.

  And  then  you can run reiserfs_resize again to use up the last MB's
  that you lost. Quite simple and efficient.

Hey, I never though about that, but it is as simple as it sounds :-)

I have used resize_reiserfs and lvreduce command combo but
reiserfs_resize is new to me. BTW, I just checked the man pages for
reiserfs_resize and it does not exist.

Is this a brand new command or is there something I'm missing here?

No, just brain damage on my part, sorry.
