Re: ql2300_conf




I think it's actually in the changelog for the e2fs tools RPM (forget the name off the top of my head).


So, are we to always expect that it will take until Update 3 of a given Red Hat release before we get professional-quality SAN support? Is it just assumed that nobody runs Red Hat on a SAN? I'm sorry if I've sounded like a whiny brat here, but the 2-3 messages I get per week from people browsing the list archives and asking me how I got my SAN working with Red Hat seems to suggest to me that Red Hat is really misunderstanding something about the needs of their clients.

actually no; see the release notes... late in the cycle we found out

back once we fixed it and tested it well.



I'm usually pretty thorough at reading release notes and I didn't remember this being in there so after you posted this I went to look again. I did a search for resize in the document titled Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 Release Notes and found a section that talks about e2fsprogs. It mentions the fact that ext2online has been added and some various notes about it but I don't see anything that mentions the removal of resize2fs much less the reason.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Later,
Tom
