Re: [Jfs-discussion] file system resize

[Barry A. <ba...@us...>]

Jon,

The extend function is not quite complete.

After several discussions, the EVMS team decided that there were more
benefits to including the file system FSIMs in the EVMS package rather
than with the file systems' individual packages.  The JFS FSIM is included
in all of the 1.1.0-pre releases of EVMS (as are FSIMs for ext2/3,
reiserfs,
and swap).  The JFS FSIM does not yet support extend, but will when
the extend work is completed in the JFS file system.

You bring up a good point...  I will include JFS FSIM notices in the
ChangeLog and/or NEWS to keep JFS users informed of JFS
FSIM updates.

Thanks for your note, and for keeping us updated on your JFS usage.

Subject:    [Jfs-discussion] file system resize



Greetings,
  On a previous post in May I saw you were hoping to release the resize
utility by the end of the month of may.

I have not seen any information in the changelog in the last 3 releases.
Also, the 1.1.0-pre1,2,3 release of evms are supposed to have added the
File
system interface Modules now.  A note was put int there that the filesystem
interface module for JFS was in there but I did not see the utility come
out
for JFS yet.

Has EVMS been interfaced at this point now with JFS so expansins of volumes
will expand the filesystem for JFS?


Has the utility been snuck in without any changelog notice?

By the way, I have had no problems to date with evms 1.0.0 with JFS 1.0.17
on top of it to date (no lost data or kernel trouble) 2.4.18 kernel.  I'm
looking forward to the fs and evms integration.

Thank you for some excellent software . . . Jon Syvertson - HON INDUSTRIES
