Subject: how to online resize ext3 when fs does not support it?
Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2008 11:48:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4868AC09.7050101@wpkg.org> (raw)
I have a fairly large ext3 filesystem created some time ago, which
doesn't support online resizing.
# resize2fs -p /dev/sdaz
resize2fs 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007)
Filesystem at /dev/sdaz is mounted on /mnt/iscsi_backup; on-line
resizing required
old desc_blocks = 77, new_desc_blocks = 87
resize2fs: Filesystem does not support online resizing
Is is possible to add resize_inode feature to an existing ext3 filesystem?
My tune2fs manual (from e2fsprogs 1.40.2) doesn't state adding
"resize_inode" is possible, and newer e2fsprogs releases only support
removing resize_inode feature.
Will adding resize_inode be supported in the future, or is it definitely
"is not, won't be possible"?
