Hello,
I'm trying to resize the /usr volume while installing a host in squeeze
with 3.3.4~beta2+experimental1, and setup-storage strangely removes the
volume before trying to resize it:
Starting setup-storage 1.2.1+exp
[...]
vg0/usr will be resized
[...]
Executing: lvremove -f vg0/usr
[...]
Executing: lvresize -L 8192 vg0/usr
Command lvresize -L 8192 vg0/usr had exit code 5
[...]
Following is the config file; as it's the first time I use this option
it might be wrong somewhere.
disk_config sda disklabel:msdos bootable:1
primary /boot 512 ext3 rw
primary - 30GiB- - -
disk_config lvm resize:vg0-usr
vg vg0 sda2
vg0-swap swap 2GiB swap sw
vg0-root / 1GiB ext3 rw
vg0-var /var 4GiB ext3 rw
vg0-usr /usr 8GiB ext3 rw
vg0-opt /opt 2GiB ext3 rw
vg0-home /export/home 6GiB ext3 rw
vg0-projet /export/projet 6GiB ext3 rw
I have also tried to preserve and resize the volume at the same time;
not that I find it useful, but just to see if it would work better: it's
preserved, but not resized. Looks to me that in this case setup-storage
should either say "don't do that you idiot", or gracefully resize both
the volume and the filesystem. Unless the filesystem doesn't support
resizing, of course.
