With all due respect, you haven't. Taj asked a very specific question: > If I want to grow an ext3 fs by size X in mb, how do I calculate the > size Y by which I have to first resize the LVM volume on which it > resides? Most sources I've read online say something like "make it a > little bigger just to be safe" but I'm hoping there is a better and > more accurate formula than that. I haven't seen an answer on this list so far. And if Taj, with his gazillions of years of experience, can't come up with an answer, I doubt if there are too many people on this list with the necessary technical qualifications who can. I know I certainly can't. I was hoping one of the deep-dive and/or broad implementation experience types like Ashish or Karanbir would have an idea, but given their lack of response, I assume they're as clueless as the rest of us on this matter. Please note that "read up on OS theory" and "read up on LVM fundamentals", while useful in themselves, are no use in closing the issue that was raised. He wanted a formula. He has not got a formula. End of story.
