Thanks for the reply but I'm still a bit confused... My filesystem
was ext3 not ext2. I realize that many of the ext2 filesystem
commands can be used with ext3 filesystems but they need to specify
that the file system is ext3... I believe I had tried several of
these commands but couldn't figure out how to specify that I wanted
to do it to ext3. Can this be done while the file system is mounted
(I have an AIX background which uses LVM and jfs which has been
possible for years)?
Ignore the fact that the command is called "ext-2-online" and just use
it with your ext3 filesystem. It will work fine. Also, you can easily
do this while the system is mounted. I did just that when composing my
reply to ensure that I wasn't leading you astray.
For extra confusion, be aware that under CentOS-4, ext2online only works
with ext3. It will not work with ext2.
The tool requires kernel patches which are only present in the ext3
filesystem, not ext2.
