[ext2resize] Re[2]: Problem with ext2online

[<ber...@pa...>]

Hi,

I have done everything by the book and I still can't see the option under
"Filesystems".
I have tried to add it directly into the .config file, but it doesn't make a
difference.

A part from that, the offline version (ext2resize) seems to be working perfectly
both ways (growing and shrinking). ext2fsck works fine and the filesystem has
been grown or shrinked.

Cheers.
Bertrand Sirodot.

You need to go into "Code maturity level options" and select
"Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/driver".  Then under
"Filesystems" select "Online ext2 resize support (DANGEROUS)".

You should note that I'm not aware of anyone who has used ext2online
with a big-endian machine, nor a 64-bit machine.  It is possible that
the user-space and/or kernel code have some bugs in them related to
one or the other of these issues.  I would suggest trying ext2resize
on an unmounted test partition followed by e2fsck -f, as well as
watching the syslog and doing e2fsck after ext2prepare and ext2online.

If you have problems or success, please let me know.  We now have a
project at ext2resize.sourceforge.net, so any bugs should be submitted
there.

Cheers, Andreas
