Osovitskiy >>mailto:o.osovitskiy@xxxxxxxxxx, icq# 33366588 Hi there, While playing with LVM today I was wondering about that too. How hard would that be? (What will follow are just assumptions from my memories of writing FS, so sorry if I'm way off with R4) - Growing should not be too hard as only the main table would need to be changed no? - As for shrinking I see 2 cases: a- There is no data beyond my desired new end, it looks like I only need to modify the table b- There is some data bothering us, now we need to pull it the same way as a repacker would do I believe. The first 2 cases look easy. For the last it would need something close to a defrag. So again, how hard would it be to write a dirty resizer? I have no Linux or R4 dev knowledge, but I have a lot spare time and I'm willing to put some of my data at risk. C is not an issue either. Do you think I can try something if you give me some pointers or am I just day-dreaming?
