Hi list,
I have an LVM backed DRBD resource for a libvirt VM that I wish to
reduce in size however neither lvresize nor resize2fs are working for me.
backing device for the volume is */dev/trk-kvm-02-vg/blmail* and is
currently 300G and I want to bring it down to 30G. My intended use for
this server has changed.
root@trk-kvm-02:~/scripts# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin
Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
[...]
blmail trk-kvm-02-vg -wi-a----- 300.00g
[...]
I bring down the resource and try lvresize on /dev/trk-kvm-02-vg/blmail:
root@trk-kvm-02:~/scripts# lvreduce --resizefs -L 30G
/dev/trk-kvm-02-vg/blmail
fsck from util-linux 2.27.1
fsadm: Filesystem "drbd" on device
"/dev/mapper/trk--kvm--02--vg-blmail" is not supported by this tool
fsadm failed: 1
Filesystem resize failed.
So I thought I'd use a hammer and resize the file system and dd it onto
a new smaller LVM volume and recreate new drbd meta-data if needed:
root@trk-kvm-02:~/scripts# resize2fs /dev/trk-kvm-02-vg/blmail 30G
resize2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open
/dev/trk-kvm-02-vg/blmail
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
I would seem to be barking up the wrong tree. Can anyone point me in
the right direction for documentation or suggest what is the right
approach to reducing this volume?
please and thanks
