It's neither ext2 nor ext3. You yourself said that you put a reiserfs file system on it. That means you need to use the tools from the reiserfsprogs toolkit to manage it. As Chris said, reiserfsck is the one you need for this operation. Do an "rpm -ql" on the reiserfsprogs package to see the reset.

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.
