Re: [linux-lvm] filesystem does not reflect new LV size

[Joe Thornber <joe fib011235813 fsnet co uk>]

Resizing is always done in two steps, these steps are done in a
different order depending whether you are extending or reducing.

Extending:

i) Resize the LV (lvextend)
ii) Resize the filesystem (eg, ext2resize, resize_reiserfs)

Reducing:

i) Resize filesystem.
ii) Resize the LV (lvreduce)


There is a tool called e2fsadm provided in LVM1 which performs both of
these steps iff you are using an ext2 filesystem.
