You really *do* speak out of my mind ;-) Well, I share the same oppinions about these FSs and have the same fs setups as you (obviousely!). > > I do not know of any Linux filesystem that can be resized while still > > mounted. > > $ man xfs_growfs [...] > you *must* have the filesystem mounted in order to use xfs_growfs.

This confused me the first time I wanted to growfs my /home; However, it has been a little bit funny aswell, as ext3 (originally) only supported offline growings. However, I once have (accidently!) thrown down one harddrive of mine from within 60cm distance down while moving to a new tower/rac; I were nearly crying about, but before, I quickly invoked fsck.xfs on my LVM (which this disk is part of) and *really* got confused. fsck.xfs is really a no-op. I couldn't figure out yet why. I can now just pray that everything seems to go just well (as it does till now ;) Regards, Christian Parpart. -- 20:26:55 up 139 days, 9:34, 2 users, load average: 0.09, 0.08, 0.08
