[linux-lvm] How to extend the file system online?

[Rocty Wang]

Hi, all,

 

    After I used LVM2 to create PV, VG, LV on the attached storage

disks, I want to format logical volume as a file system and 

possibly extend the file system of LV online. But when I prefer to 

"ext3" file system, I find the tool "resize2fs" only can resize 

ext3 file system offline.

 

    OS: Linux Fedora Core2(kernel 2.6.7-1.494.2.2smp)

    LVM version: 2.00.15(2004-04-19)

    Library version: 1.00.14-ioctl(2004-04-06)

    Driver version: 4.1.0

 

    Operations:

    pvcreate /dev/sda

    pvcreate /dev/sdb

 

    vgcreate vg1 /dev/sda /dev/sdb

    lvcreate -L 100G -n lv1 vg1

 

    mke2fs /dev/vg1/lv1

    mount /dev/vg1/lv1 /mnt

    lvextend -L +50G /dev/vg1/lv1

 

    Then I used "resize2fs" tool to extend file system, but failed.

I know it must be done when "umount" the lv1.

    If another tool can finish that running under Linux?

 

    Or if any other file system can be mounted and resized online under
Linux? 

XFS? I don't know. 

 

Anyone can help me? Thanks!
