hello all,
I am trying to expand my /var file system which resides on a logical volume. I successfully issued the lvextend command. However when I try to issue the ext2online command I receive a return code of 3 which the man pages indicates:
ext2online /var ext2online v1.1.18 - 2001/03/18 for EXT2FS 0.5b ext2online: group 0, block 7 not reserved
ext2online: unable to resize /dev/mapper/root_vg-lv_var
echo $? 3
3 Error in pre-resizing (user space) operation
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I would prefer doing this online...
You may not be doing anything wrong. From the man page,
you need to have the Online ext2 resize support (CON-FIG_EXT2_RESIZE) feature enabled in the kernel (after applying the appropriate patch for the 2.x series of kernels).
*I* don't know if the kernel(s) have been compiled with this enabled? Do you know?
thanks,
James
