You said you increased the size of a LV, not added a new LV. If you added a new LV and created a filesystem on it you'd want to add it to fstab, but if you're growing an existing LV and filesystem you wouldn't need to change anything - the filesystem you grew would already be listed in fstab. You did grow the filesystem too, right? Why do you think you need to reboot? > 2) For 1.3 TB , fsck is going to take a long time > > Is it good idea disable fsck completely on reboot and or do scheduled > manual fsck.

Hopefully the "fsck takes _forever_" problem will die when btrfs becomes the standard filesystem. --Dave _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
