Ok, to answer my question, since I have a backup of the data I figured I'd give the ext2online a try and it appears to have completed successfully. I'd be interested in hearing if the EL4 version of resize2fs is only meant for ext2 or if there is a size limitation that could be causing the segfault.

" In RH4 you can use ext2online to expand a live partition. With RH5 this facility has been rolled into resize2fs which can expand a live ext3 partition (note that this is in direct contradiction to the information in the link you posted). resize2fs can only resize an ext2 partition offline." Reading the man file gave the impression that resize2fs supports both ext2 and ext3 "resize2fs -ext2/ext3 file system resizer". The rest of the man file only references ext2, however. Looks like ext2online may be the way to go. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Hanby Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 9:21 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Segmentation fault when running resize2fs (RHEL4) on 12TBs I added 8 additional TB to a virtual disk on our SAN bringing its size to 12TB. The disk is the single member of a volume group (vg00) which then has a single logical volume (lv00) that I'm trying to grow to use all 12TB. The OS is RHEL4 x86_64 and the file system is ext3. lvdisplay confirms that the logical volume has been expanded to the new number of extents. I've made sure to run fsck.ext3 on /dev/vg00/lv00 before running resize2fs When I attempt to run resize2fs (should I be running something else?), with the file system unmounted, it will segfault after a while. # resize2fs -p /dev/vg00/lv00 resize2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) Resizing the filesystem on /dev/vg00/lv00 to -1366295552 (4k) blocks.
