ect3 online resizing is most certainly planned for the next release. Anything prediction on XFS? It's quite a large patch so its probably tricky to sync with the rest of the RHEL kernel. It would be very nice anyway... As this bug was assigned to Stephen Tweedie, may I assume this means "no" concerning the integration of XFS? Correct. We do not intend to integrate and support XFS. However we are pursuing ext3 based online resizing. RHEL-4 will support online resize for ext3. There are no plans to back-port that functionality to RHEL-3. We were told by a Red Hat consultant that online resize _will_ now be backported to RHEL-3. Can anyone commment on the date this will happen? Regards, Kai Groshert Can you give details on who that consultant is? There are still no plans to back-port online resize to RHEL-3. I'm sorry if there has been a misunderstanding here. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: In Red Hat Enterprise Linux I can not find any filesystem that can be resized online, without unmounting. The included ext2/ext3 version has the online-resize option removed, as I understand for stability reasons. The obvious alternative would be XFS which is part of the vanilla kernel now, unfortunately XFS support is not included in the Red Hat kernel. I think this should be considered a bug as there is, as of now, no enterprise-level filesystem available in RHEL. Are there any plans to support online-resizeable filesystems in RHEL in the next version? (from bug-id 120850 I can tell its at least not planned for the 3.0 version) Especially XFS would be nice as we have been using it for a long time. Regards, Kai Groshert Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mkfs -t xfs 2. or on a mounted filesystem: 3. e2fsadm -L +1500M /dev/vg00/homevol Additional info:
