RE: [Xen-users] RE: domU lvm and resizing40

The way I've done it in the past is:

1.  Make sure that xen domain is shut down that you are re-sizing
2.  Run lvextend (you've already done this)
3.  Run e2fsck -f [logical volume name] (i.e. /dev/domain0/lvname)
4.  Run resize2fs [volume name] [new size in G of LV] (i.e. resize2fs
/dev/domain0/lvname 8G
5.  Start up vm.  New size should be reflected now.

I tried resize2fs but maybe I didn't do right.  I ran it from dom0
against the lv /dev/xenlocal/xen0vm1 volume.  Is that the correct way
for a vm?

ext2online looks as though it should be a part of ext2resize but if SuSE
is using it I haven't been able to find it.

FWIW if I open yast from the vm and look at the partition manager it
also shows the new size.

Thanks,
John
