[ext2resize] ext2resize available for ext3 anytime?

[Ph. M. <ma...@bm...>]

Hello Andreas, hello Lennert,
hello everybody else,


will ext2resize (specifically the -online part) be available for ext3 anytime?
If it's still in development I'm willing to do testing.

Or do you know of any plans to include this feature in GNU parted?


Thanks for all answers.


Regards,

Phil

I'm accepting patches ;)

Sorry to take so very long to get back to you on this.  I have put a
tarball of my 2.2 ext3 online resizing code on my web page.

http://www-mddsp.enel.ucalgary.ca/People/adilger/online-ext2/ext3-2.2.18-resize.tgz

It is just a tarball of the fs/ext3 part, and not the full ext3 patch.
It is based on ext3-0.0.7a and includes LFS support also.  Feel free
to hack on it.

I have had my proposal for OLS accepted, and for that I will need to
finish the ext3 support for online resizing (which is what my
presentation is about ;-).  That means I have a deadline of mid-june
to finish it for 2.4 and/or 2.5 kernels.

Cheers, Andreas

So if I understood you correctly, you MUST do it but invite me to help ? :-)
Well, feel free to ask about testing - I'm willing to do that extensively.

I'm not sure if I can help coding - I know C but not about the internals
about ext2/ext3 (and surely not about online resizing, although I've got
some ideas about that, naturally).

I'd need that for 2.4.


So thanks for the answer!
Mail me instructions - if they're detailed enough I should be able to follow.
(So "finish ext3 online resize support" won't do :-)


Thanks again!


Regards,

Phil

Yes, I _must_ do it.  You are not obligated to work on it by any means.
It's just that you asked a while ago about this and I finally got around
to sending it to you.

OK, I will let you know when I have the ext3 code for 2.4 far enough
along for testing.  Hopefully it isn't the day before my presentation ;-)

Cheers, Andreas
