Resizing to make an ext2/ext3 filesystem larger can be done while the filesystem is mounted. Resizing to shrink a filesystem requires the filesystem to not be mounted. Example of online resizing: # df -h /var Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg0-varlv 2.0G 605M 1.3G 33% /var # lvextend -L +1G /dev/vg0/varlv Extending logical volume varlv to 3.00 GB Logical volume varlv successfully resized # resize2fs /dev/vg0/varlv resize2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006) Filesystem at /dev/vg0/varlv is mounted on /var; on-line resizing required Performing an on-line resize of /dev/vg0/varlv to 786432 (4k) blocks. The filesystem on /dev/vg0/varlv is now 786432 blocks long. # df -h /var Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg0-varlv 3.0G 605M 2.2G 22% /var - -- David Goldsmith -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkpHkcQACgkQ417vU8/9Qfl1wQCfTvtzeYz6xeDNC6sHyt4A6dT2 W7oAoIHVnagZmxOfjuUGqYmzUmFEOTU3 =wnz+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
