Following Redbooks Technote TIPS0128 instructions, I've create a logical volume and
installed a Reiser file system on it, and it works well. I used
the command:
mkreiserfs /dev/lvmdata/vol1
Now, I'm trying to enlarge the logical volume vol1 using:
lvextend /dev/lvmdata/vol1 -L 7.64G
and I checked that the new size was taken. Then, following the "Distributions" redbook
instructions I ran e2fsck to check the file system before run
resize2fs and I've got the following messages:
linuxdev:~ # e2fsck -f /dev/lvmdata/vol1
e2fsck 1.28 (31-Aug-2002)
Couldn't find ext2 superblock, trying backup blocks...
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/lvmdata/vol1
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
So, I assume it's not a ext2 file but an ext3....so How can I resize my logical
volume???.
Any help??....Many thanks.
Hugo.
