*** Bug 166039 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** There is an update package of e2fsprogs for RHEL-4: e2fsprogs-1.35-12.3.EL4 Is this version working for you? Too old to try again. didn't have the system anymore I've got the same issue on RH 4.4 (e2fsprogs-1.35-12.4.EL4) running on s390x (zVM) but not on i686. Thi is the error I got: ext2online -v -d /dev/vg00010051_01/lvtest ext2online v1.1.18 - 2001/03/18 for EXT2FS 0.5b ext2_open ext2_bcache_init new filesystem size 38912 ext2_determine_itoffset setting itoffset to +10 ext2_get_reserved Found 6 blocks in s_reserved_gdt_blocks using 6 reserved group descriptor blocks 1 old groups, 1 blocks 2 new groups, 1 blocks ext2_ioctl: EXTEND group to 32768 blocks creating group 1 with 6144 blocks (rsvd = 6, newgd = 1) using itoffset of 10 new block bitmap is at 0x8008 new inode bitmap is at 0x8009 new inode table is at 0x800a-0x8349 new group has 5302 free blocks new group has 26624 free inodes (832 blocks) ext2_ioctl: ADD group 1 ext2online: ext2_ioctl: No space left on device ext2online: unable to resize /dev/mapper/vg00010051_01-lvtest root@lx000000010051 ~ # why is the priority "low" on this bug? I don't think it is very "enterprise" to suggest a couple of hours of downtime as a workaround... (yes, this is how long our filesystem will take to resize offline, since an fsck is required before resize2fs.) Without dmesg output it's hard to know for sure, but it's likely that this is the same issue as here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=119126680223394&w=4 in which the transaction to grow the filesystem is too large for the existing journal. My patch above should address this, can someone who has hit this provide dmesg output to verify that it is the same issue? (See also bug 160612) Note that another simpler workaround is to create a larger journal... although that defeats the purpose of online resizing, if you have to unmount to "workaround" you may as well just do offline resizing. Thanks, -Eric Oh, and switch to kernel, since the bug is actually there. *** Bug 160612 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This patch has been upstream for a while; should probably get it into RHEL4.
