Hi, I'm running debian testing and "/home" is an ext3 fs. I run the following order of commands to shrink the fs and the corresponding partition: e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/mygroup-home resize2fs /dev/mapper/mygroup-home 55329357 lvreduce -L 208.5g /dev/mapper/mygroup-home The latter was supposed to be .5g bigger than necessary (paranoia regarding the data integrity kicking in). "e2fck /dev/mapper/mygroup-home" now stops with superblock/filesystem size mismatch, but I can't grow the fs into the new partition size, as "resize2fs" wants "e2fsck" (stopping with the mismatch) first. The fs is mountable and everything seems allright otherwise. Any pointers on how to update the superblock's size statement? Thanks, Joh _______________________________________________ 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/
