Hi,
I'm running debian testing and "/home" is an ext3 fs. I run the following
order of commands to shrink the fs and the corresponding partition:
e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/mygroup-home
resize2fs /dev/mapper/mygroup-home 55329357
lvreduce -L 208.5g /dev/mapper/mygroup-home
The latter was supposed to be .5g bigger than necessary (paranoia regarding
the data integrity kicking in).
"e2fck /dev/mapper/mygroup-home" now stops with superblock/filesystem size
mismatch, but I can't grow the fs into the new partition size, as
"resize2fs" wants "e2fsck" (stopping with the mismatch) first.
The fs is mountable and everything seems allright otherwise.
Any pointers on how to update the superblock's size statement?
Thanks, Joh

"""
The size parameter specifies the requested new size of the filesystem.
If no units are specified, the units of the size parameter shall be the
filesystem blocksize of the filesystem.
"""
assuming 4k block size,
55329357 * 4k Byte == 221317428 kB
221317428 / 1024 / 1024
==> 211.some GiB
You reduced to 208.5, you truncated the file system.
Unless I did get it wrong myself ;)

Resize to >= 212g, preferably with the same logical extents mapping to
the same physical extents (look at your meta data backups).
Then fsck again. You may be lucky enough that nothing really was stored
in those truncated 3Gig, or that the PEs have not yet been recycled,
you are able to map them back, and the data that was there is still
there...

mke2fs -b 4096 -t ext3 -S /dev/mapper/mygroup-home
on the unmounted file system solved my issue.

And yes, by that I set the truncation of the FS (thanks, Lars for pointing
that out) in stone ...

Soo... did the fsck you ran immediately after the mke2fs -S complain,
or did you get away with no more than a fright?

There ware complaints about unmatching group sizes, so I guess I lost data.
