You really *do* speak out of my mind ;-) Well, I share the same oppinions=20 about these FSs and have the same fs setups as you (obviousely!). > > I do not know of any Linux filesystem that can be resized while still > > mounted. > > $ man xfs_growfs [...] > you *must* have the filesystem mounted in order to use xfs_growfs.

This confused me the first time I wanted to growfs my /home; However, it ha= s=20 been a little bit funny aswell, as ext3 (originally) only supported offline= =20 growings. However, I once have (accidently!) thrown down one harddrive of mine from=20 within 60cm distance down while moving to a new tower/rac; I were nearly=20 crying about, but before, I quickly invoked fsck.xfs on my LVM (which this= =20 disk is part of) and *really* got confused. fsck.xfs is really a no-op. I couldn't figure out yet why. I can now just p= ray=20 that everything seems to go just well (as it does till now ;) Regards, Christian Parpart. =2D-=20 20:26:55 up 139 days, 9:34, 2 users, load average: 0.09, 0.08, 0.08 --nextPart1297576.vGvRKkFUgR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBC+Pn/Ppa2GmDVhK0RAhHiAJoCkYxi36UjDA36H9lRSMzg2/ma7gCdF4UK XZbZ4dot3TYY0S1xT00wZLs= =/NsB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1297576.vGvRKkFUgR-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
