Hi there, I was doing an extremely simple task: shrink my home partition / resize my root partition.
Steps: # df -h According to df, /home is 670G and / is 5.6G, so I decide to remove 20G from one to move it to the other. # umount /home # resize2fs /dev/mapper/gotlib-home 650G ... do some e2fsck dance # lvreduce -L-20G /dev/mapper/gotlib-home # mount /home # lvextend -L+20G /dev/mapper/gotlib-root Go get my debian CD installer, reboot, go to graphical rescue mode, click , click, click, mount /home to run a shell into, then: # resize2fs /dev/mapper/gotlib-root So far everything seems to be going very well... And then that's where I start crying, because on the next reboot, I am asked to enter in maintenance mode: # e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/gotlib-home e2fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 178399232 blocks The physical size of the device is 173156352 blocks Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt! Abort<y>? yes I tried to force : # resize2fs -f /dev/mapper/gotlib-home But I really do not know what I am doing, any help at this point will be very appreciated !
