There are some services that cannot be down for some time (mail, http, etc).Alan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:I don't know of a way to remount a ext3 filesystem as ext2 "online". ext2online/ext2resize flatly refuse to do anything with a mounted ext3 filesystem. Anyone have a solution?By "online" I assume you mean mounted? Is there any reason that you can't unmount the drive, or if it's your /, boot up with the livecd and then run the program?Yes, reasons a plenty! Mostly -- I don't want the down time. To unmount, I'd have to kill everything using the filesystem etc.
Will be great if exist some application that permit resize the partition on a mounted FS (hot resize)
At this moment, I can't find any utilitie for ext3 that permit resize the lv on a mounted fs.XFS has xfs_growfs which works on mounted volumes. I *think* resierfs has something similar. ext2 has it as well.
On the reiser area, the reisize utilitie can't be used on a mounted fs.
