First of all, thanks for all your feedback! Good to hear that you all did online resizing without problems, although it puzzles me because chances for possibility 1) are now raising...

According to the man page, it's possible to specify ext2online {device|mountpoint}, and the resizing itself worked well (nice to see how the free space comes part by part, instead of being enlarged at once), at least on the fs level.

I was just trying to compare ltrace outputs of luksOpen on data[01] to see more in detail what's going on, but then I ran into a SIGSEGV after a mlockall call. (?!? - I don't even know if this is ok or not...) strace runs fine but the diff reveals nothing of interest. I'm not yet willing to give up the data in this volume. Yes, I did a backup, but it's from 2006 (duh) and there was quite some work in the meantime. Yes, I will adjust backup frequency. ;-) BTW, I'm using "Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS" (kubuntu): cryptsetup-luks 1.0.3-0ubuntu1 e2fsprogs 1.38-2ubuntu2 lvm2 2.02.02-1ubuntu1.5 Best regards, Uwe -- Uwe Menges, PGP Key ID 0x29F2841F Encrypted e-mail preferred, see [http://gnupg.org] or [http://pgpi.org]. --------------------------------------------------------------------- dm-crypt mailing list - http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: dm-crypt-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: dm-crypt-help@xxxxxxxx
