I see what you mean now - I got confused because there are two paragraphs in the size option description, one indicates that you don't need to set it, then the second paragraph discusses the "grow" context and indicates you can use 'max'. The first paragraph doesn't indicate a specific context, so I took it to cover all possible contexts where 'size' was applicable, and it seems like it isn't I did successfully grow my md arrays though, which was nice, but then ext2online didn't do what I asked it to do, and now I'm back to just doing the more typical dump/restore thing anyway. Not really on-topic, but has anyone else gotten ext2online to work? I get this "Dec 8 21:27:02 istanbul kernel: JBD: ext2online wants too many credits (2050 > 2048)" after letting it attempt to extend the FS to cover the entire device. -Mike
