Bug#346511: ext3 online resizing doesn't work
* Bastian Blank
> Stock linux does not support online resizing of ext3.
It does (since 2.6.10). I've successfully extended mounted ext3 file
systems using ext2online from ext2resize 1.1.19-3 on an unmodified
2.6.15-1-k7.
However the more I've looked into it, the more certain I've become
that it is Documentation/filesystems/ext3.txt that is incorrect - the
resize=nblocks mount option is probably disabled due to the fact that
it's not working properly; using ext2online(8) is currently the only
way to do it. Or so it seems to me.
I just submitted a patch upstream that corrects the documentation, so
it's probably going to be fixed in the next upstream release, but it's
fine by me to close the bug already now anyway.
Kind regards
