I managed to fill up the LV to which I was copying files, so I umounted it and did an e2fsck -f, perparatory to performing an lvextend + resize2fs. I got a bunch of errors regarding i_blocks, but only for the files to which writes were attempted after the FS filled up. e2fsck fixed the errors and the resize2fs was successful. Kernel is 2.4.18, stock ext3 and LVM, with the rmap 12h VM. tune2fs -l information (this is after the fsck and resize, hence the free blocks): tune2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Filesystem volume name: <none> Last mounted on: <not available> Filesystem UUID: 1fbbcc09-fbc5-43e6-beac-0397b407a881 Filesystem magic number: 0xEF53 Filesystem revision #: 1 (dynamic) Filesystem features: has_journal filetype sparse_super Filesystem state: clean Errors behavior: Continue Filesystem OS type: Linux Inode count: 1441792 Block count: 2883584 Reserved block count: 144179 Free blocks: 405569 Free inodes: 1439329 First block: 0 Block size: 4096 Fragment size: 4096 Blocks per group: 32768 Fragments per group: 32768 Inodes per group: 16384 Inode blocks per group: 512 Last mount time: Sat Mar 30 16:58:51 2002 Last write time: Sat Mar 30 17:12:23 2002 Mount count: 1 Maximum mount count: 36 Last checked: Sat Mar 30 16:56:30 2002 Check interval: 15552000 (6 months) Next check after: Thu Sep 26 17:56:30 2002 Reserved blocks uid: 0 (user root) Reserved blocks gid: 0 (group root) First inode: 11 Inode size: 128 Journal UUID: <none> Journal inode: 8 Journal device: 0x0000 First orphan inode: 0 -- ///////////////// | | The spark of a pin <sneakums@zork.net> | (require 'gnu) | dropping, falling feather-like. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ | | There is too much noise.
