parted won't change the partition.
Why? What am I doing wrong?
Did you read this doc?
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_chapter/parted_7.html
This document states that one should reduce the size of the partition first,
before reducing the size of the logical volume group. So, I reinstalled the OS,
repartitioning along the way, so that I can try with a clean slate.
When I run parted, I get the same problems:
# parted /dev/hda
Using /dev/hda
(parted) check 1
Error: Filesystem has incompatible feature enabled
(parted) check 2
Error: Could not detect filesystem.
(parted) print 2
Error: Could not detect filesystem.
(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-19073.486 megabytes
Disk label type: msdos
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
1 0.031 101.975 primary ext3 boot
2 101.975 19069.343 primary lvm
(parted) resize 2 101.975 4813
Error: Could not detect file system.
This is BEFORE I reduced the logical volumes.
This:
http://hypodermia.blogspot.com/2005/08/in-case-this-ever-happens-to-you.html
indicates that it is not possible to resize the partition as it is, because of
incompatible features in the filesystem that make it incompatible with parted
and partition magic. The fix listed there seems to leave the filesystem without
the ability to use SELinux, which I find unacceptable.
This
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90894
indicates that this is a bug in parted, which will be fixed in the 2.0 release.
It indicates that:
"Currently the _only_ tool that can resize ext3 filesystems is resize2fs
available in e2fsprogs. While annoying, you can use resize2fs to resize the
filesystem and then use fdisk or parted to resize the partition boundary to
match the new filesystem size. With parted 2.0, we'll be able to do this in one
step."
I'll try resize2fs on this toy system, and see how it is done.
