The man pages for resize_reiserfs indicate that it should be used on unmounted volumes... AFAIK, Reiser is the only filesystem in common use that allows volumes to be reduced. > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com] > On Behalf Of Gunther Clasen > Sent: 16 March 2006 09:03 > To: LVM general discussion and development > Subject: Re: [linux-lvm] online resize > > On Wed, Mar 15, 2006, Michael Schulz wrote: > > > can please anybody tell me where I can found > > an aktual informaiton about LVM2 and the filesystems > > which are currently support online resizing? > > I use reiserfs for quite a number of years now and it seems to work > fine.
