Hello List, im trying to resize a ext4 fs to > 16TB. Having had a look at the e2fsprogs 1.42.x release notes i thought that, with the online resize ioctl having been merged in Kernel 3.3, this should be possible. But so far i have had no success achieving this: ~ # uname -a Linux 3.3.8-gentoo #1 SMP Fri Jul 27 16:13:25 CEST 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux ~ # tune2fs -l /dev/vg0/lvol1 tune2fs 1.42.4 (12-June-2012) Filesystem volume name: <none> Last mounted on: /home/filestore_extern_1 Filesystem UUID: 8fba4f1b-5311-4c9b-b8bf-def4957dc1bd Filesystem magic number: 0xEF53 Filesystem revision #: 1 (dynamic) Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent 64bit flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize Filesystem flags: signed_directory_hash Default mount options: user_xattr acl Filesystem state: clean Errors behavior: Continue Filesystem OS type: Linux Inode count: 521011200 Block count: 4168089600 Reserved block count: 191127425 Free blocks: 2195165566 Free inodes: 520937830 First block: 0 Block size: 4096 Fragment size: 4096 Reserved GDT blocks: 60 Blocks per group: 32768 Fragments per group: 32768 Inodes per group: 4096 Inode blocks per group: 256 RAID stride: 16 RAID stripe width: 160 Flex block group size: 16 Filesystem created: Fri Jul 27 17:16:24 2012 Last mount time: Sun Jul 29 15:22:23 2012 Last write time: Sun Jul 29 15:22:23 2012 Mount count: 6 Maximum mount count: -1 Last checked: Fri Jul 27 17:16:24 2012 Check interval: 0 (<none>) Lifetime writes: 7485 GB Reserved blocks uid: 0 (user root) Reserved blocks gid: 0 (group root) First inode: 11 Inode size: 256 Required extra isize: 28 Desired extra isize: 28 Journal inode: 8 Default directory hash: half_md4 Directory Hash Seed: ef2ec72a-750b-4822-bd8d-9117faadeaee Journal backup: inode blocks ~ # vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name vg0 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 2 Metadata Sequence No 4 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 1 Open LV 1 Max PV 0 Cur PV 2 Act PV 2 VG Size 18.18 TiB PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 4766718 Alloc PE / Size 4766718 / 18.18 TiB Free PE / Size 0 / 0 VG UUID q6p5LG-pi1P-pAcI-fSsv-vFI7-6sAA-eabaBH ~ # lvdisplay --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/vg0/lvol1 VG Name vg0 LV UUID 7OF1do-HqZD-FGSN-chJF-rPYC-x1Ty-vGCZlc LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 18.18 TiB Current LE 4766718 Segments 2 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 254:1 ~ # resize2fs /dev/vg0/lvol1 resize2fs 1.42.4 (12-June-2012) resize2fs: New size too large to be expressed in 32 bits Any advice on how to proceed would be welcome.
