You can resize ext2 and ext3 filesystems while mounted with ext2online. It's a standard part of RHEL4. I don't know about other distributions. We've used it, and it works fine.

To avoid misinterpretion: I would feel safe to use resize2fs after backup of a production system, then do an e2fsck -f before going production again. Online resize of ext3 feels too hot for me to use in production systems, but that does also apply to reiserfs in general. with kind regards, Carsten -- Carsten Otte has stopped smoking: Ich habe in 3 Monate, 4 Tage und 10 Minuten schon 460,83 Euro gespart anstatt 1.920,15 Zigaretten zu kaufen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 -------------------------------------------------------- If you are not an intended recipient of this e-mail, please notify the sender, delete it and do not read, act upon, print, disclose, copy, retain or redistribute it.
