I was about to say, "you resized an active fs? your data is going to be pureed". But then before I did, I looked: The resize2fs program will resize ext2 or ext3 file systems. It can be used to enlarge or shrink an unmounted file system located on device. If the filesystem is mounted, it can be used to expand the size of the mounted filesystem, assuming the kernel supports on-line resizing. (As of this writing, the Linux 2.6 kernel supports on-line resize for filesystems mounted using ext3 only.). So, wow, learn something new every day - still probably something I wouldn't have attempted myself, but cool. -m -- Mike Kershaw/Dragorn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG Fingerprint: 3546 89DF 3C9D ED80 3381 A661 D7B2 8822 738B BDB1 Q.
