#1495 LVM Resize Errors in 1.130
I'm currently running Webmin 1.130 on a RedHat ES 3.0
machine. I am using LVM for my file systems and
noticed that Webmin will not properly resize my partitions.
On a ext3 Log Vol that I tried to extend, Webmin would
start the process and then hang indefinitely (or so it
looked after I had waited 24 hours). According to ps
it looked like it was stuck on resize2fs. I killed the
process and then did it manually from a terminal.
Following the instructions here:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/extendlv.html
Worked perfectly in under a min.
Then I tried to resize a reiserfs file system. When I
try to extend my Log Vol, I get an error from webmin
telling me that it is impossible to resize the logical
volume and that I must recreate the entire file system
and all data will be lost! WTF. I went to the terminal
and following the instructions in the HOWTO I resized
the file system in half the time as ext3 without losing
my data.
