Re: Partition resizing fails

["Roman Meier" <roman.meier@gismap.ch>]

Hi Wolfgang,

I was finally able to fix it. Took me way too long to figure this one out.

The issue was that a minimal amount of space is required to execute an
lvextent of /dev/vg_system/root. In my case the space was just not big
enough.

I therefore temporarily moved some files out of /etc/debian-edu/www/.
Then I rebooted and the two commands (lvextend and resize2fs) executed
nicely.

Thanks for your hints and assistance! :)
