I would like to online resize an LVM ext3 partition on my fc6 system. What would I have to install and do? In the past I used ext2online and e2fsadm on rh as 4, but it seems that both e2fsadm and ext2online are missing on my fc6 system e2fsprogs package (I have e2fsprogs-libs-1.39-7.fc6, e2fsprogs-devel-1.39-7.fc6, e2fsprogs-1.39-7.fc6).

What is current status for ext2/3 resize tools (both online and offline) for fc6? And eventually plans for fc7?

Reading man page for resize2fs it seems that in my case I could online resize by 1Gb my /usr filesystem, that is ext3, using:

- lvextend /dev/rootvg/usrlv -L +1G - resize2fs /dev/rootvg/usrlv

Can anyone confirm this?

Is documentation for resize2fs aligned with fc6 kernel? Currently it is: The resize2fs program will resize ext2 or ext3 file systems. It can be used to enlarge or shrink an unmounted file system located on device. If the filesystem is mounted, it can be used to expand the size of the mounted filesystem, assuming the kernel supports on-line resizing. (As of this writing, the Linux 2.6 kernel supports on-line resize for filesystems mounted using ext3 only.). [snip] The resize2fs program does not manipulate the size of partitions. If you wish to enlarge a filesystem, you must first make sure you can expand the size of the underlying partition first.

Thanks in advance. Gianluca
