[reiserfs-list] resize_reiserfs problem
Hi all: I'm trying to change size of my root reiserfs v3.5 partition, but i can't do it. this is my partiton table. cfdisk 2.11b Unidad de disco: /dev/hdc Tamaño: 3228696576 bytes Cabezales: 128 Sectores por pista: 63 Cilindros: 782 Nombre IndicadoresTipo de parTipo de sistema d[Etiqueta] Tamaño(MB) - - hdc1Primaria Linux ext2 20,65 hdc2Primaria Linux swap136,25 hdc3InicioPrimaria Linux 2733,25 Pri/Lóg Espacio libre 338,56 my steps are this: 1) boot linux from rescue CD (linux suse 7.2) 2) I test the partition with debugreiserfs (reiserfsprogs 3.x) and the STATUS is ok. 3) I run reiserfsck in order to verify that all is ok. (all ok) 4) I run resize_reiserfs /dev/hdc3 -s +250M /dev/hdc3 Resize_reiserfs respond that it's not enought space in this partition. Are 338.56 Mb free space. What is my fail? Ê7 Thank's -- Ciro Vargas Clemow Barranquilla - Colombia P.D. I'm reiserfs user in production environment and I'm very happy with this journal filesystem.

Well, my Spanish isn't que bueno, but I think what you need to do is to increase the size of /dev/hdc3 to include the libre space at the end of the disk before you resize the filesystem. The resize_reiserfs tool is only changing the _filesystem_ and not the _partition_!

Well, you can do it with cfdisk, it should be relatively easy to do in your case. GNU parted is probably the best tool for doing complex partition resizing tasks, but it does not appear to support reiserfs. p.d. sorry for my english Well, my espanol is worse, so don't worry about it.

(As of 2 days ago) Not something I'd trust at this stage... ;) p.d. sorry for my english Well, my espanol is worse, so don't worry about it. Sabe Portunhol? hehe Andrew
