Ok so this time I documented ever step I took to test this out. So I could be pointed to where I was going wrong ....
PLEASE READ the BOLD stuff at the end here first ... dasdfmt -b 4096 -d cdl -f /dev/dasdt -l LXt -p -y fdasd -a /dev/dasdt pvcreate /dev/dasdt1 pvscan = PV /dev/dasdt1 lvm2 [6.88 GB] vgcreate vgtest /dev/dasdt1 vgscan = Found volume group "vgtest" using metadata type lvm2 pvscan = PV /dev/dasdt1 VG vgtest lvm2 [6.88 GB / 6.88 GB free] lvcreate --name lvtest --size 1G vgtest lvscan = ACTIVE '/dev/vgtest/lvtest' [1.00 GB] inherit pvscan = PV /dev/dasdt1 VG vgtest lvm2 [6.88 GB / 5.88 GB free] mke2fs -j /dev/vgtest/lvtest mkdir /usr/lvtest added to /etc/fstab = /dev/vgtest/lvtest /usr/lvtest ext3 defaults 1 2 mount -a df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vgtest-lvtest 1008M 34M 924M 4% /usr/lvtest touch /usr/lvtest/a works fine =================================================================== lvextend --size +1G /dev/vgtest/lvtest Extending logical volume lvtest to 2.00 GB Logical volume lvtest successfully resized pvscan = PV /dev/dasdt1 VG vgtest lvm2 [6.88 GB / 4.88 GB free] no changes from df -h ext2online /usr/lvtest ext2online v1.1.18 - 2001/03/18 for EXT2FS 0.5b df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vgtest-lvtest 2.0G 34M 1.9G 2% /usr/lvtest touch /usr/lvtest/b works fine ... ======================================================================== == enter reboot (just before I hit enter I realized that I had just added the disk for this test and did not update the initrd & zipl ... Durrrr ... I know better than that but did it three times the last time I was testing this a few weeks ago .... ) so it does work fine .... lvextend + ext2online can grow a file system while mounted .... even after a boot works fine ... :) so sorry .. all ... -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Perry Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 10:30 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Resize fs while mounted?
