Hi, thanks to all for the last hints ... it works (sort of). Now I've done something stupid - I've installed a new HDD and pvcreate /dev/hdb1 vgextend /dev/vg01 /dev/hdb1 vgdisplay /dev/vg01 -> 3737 free 4MB extents lvextend +l 3737 /dev/vg01/home instead of using "e2fsadm" to resize the file system as well. Is there a way to use resize2fs to get the same result, or would I have to (can I?) "lvreduce -l -3737 ..." the volume group first? How does the "reducing" work, does it just cut off the end? The Trouble Is(tm), umounting the /home partition would include explaining to 200 scientists why and how long they cannot access their precious data, and I *really* don't want to go into details here. =;() Thanks! -- ciao, Jens (mailaddr im Header) http://www.pinguin.conetix.de "Schiebe nie etwas auf Boshaftigkeit, was http://www.hitch-hiker.de ausreichend durch Dummheit erklärt werden kann." http://www.linuxfaq.de
