Greetings -
I had a logical volume that was running out of space on a virtual machine. I successfully expanded the LV using lvextend, and lvdisplay shows that it has been expanded. Then I went to expand the filesystem to fill the new space (# resize2fs -p /dev/vde1) and I get the results that the filesystem is already xx blocks long, nothing to do. If I do a # df -h, I can see that the filesystem has not been extended. I could kick the users off the VM, reboot the VM using a GParted live CD and extend the filesystem that way, but I thought that it was possible to do this live and mounted? The RH docs say this is possible; the man page for resize2fs also says it is possible with ext4. What am I missing here? This is a Centos 6.2 VM with an ext4 filesystem. The logical volumes are setup on the host system which is also a Centos 6.2 system.
Try resize4fs (assuming your FS is ext4).
