Hi Ed, Thanks for your quick response. Your note does makes sense. The man page on e2fsadm however did suggest the resizing of a mounted or unmounted ext2 file system. I think that is confusing if not incorrect. e2fsadm tries to invoke ext2online and flags an error when it cannot find it. So something not quite right here.

In particular, the sentence that says the file system must be unmounted first. RHEL 3 does not support resizing a mounted file system. .../Ed > Peter > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] > On Behalf Of Ed Wilts > Sent: 15 July 2004 22:01 > To: vivek@xxxxxxxxxx; General Red Hat Linux discussion list > Subject: Re: LVM question > > > On Thu, Jul 15, 2004 at 04:55:25PM -0400, Vivek Kumar wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I created filesystems through LVM.
