Hi List, Since using SLES-10-SP2 I notice that ext3 filesystems now have new default options that better suit them for later online resizing.
If you look at the changelog for e2fsprogs you will see: * Thu Dec 06 2007 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - set EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_RESIZE_INODE by default in mke2fs [#279180,FATE#302553] If you do a dumpe2fs of a filesystem created on SP2 you will now see a new Filesystem feature of "resize_inode", and a new line "Reserved GDT blocks". I have already tested extending a 4GB ext3 filesystem beyond 16GB which use to be the first barrier I always hit. So if you want to use online resizing SP2 has advantages. Perhaps there is(or will be) an Online Update for SP1? mark ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
