Alan,
I see from this thread that you mention SLES-10-SP1. With this level you
can only grow a 4KB bs filesystem to the next 16GB boundary.

With SLES-10-SP2 any newly created filesystems are pre-configured to
allow growth. Any filesystems created on SP1 will still have limitations
even under SP2.

I have not yet found any way to "upgrade" an SP1 filesystem without
recreating it from scratch. The man page for ext2online mentions an
ext2prepare command, but this is not shipped with SLES-10-SP2. Neither
does tune2fs seem to cover this, its a mystery to me right now.

It would be nice if SLES had a method to "upgrade" filesystems, even if
this had to be done one-time offline.
