Thanks to all for your suggestions on how to go about this without
resize2fs! It turns out that I was able to get an rpm of resize2fs,
so I would rather use this instead of all the other methods.
Once again, here's what df shows right now:
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 497667 35372 436593 7% /
/dev/sda5 497667 395751 76214 84% /var
/dev/sda6 2478138 2271725 78297 97% /usr
/dev/sda7 4616953 643371 3734617 15% /home
Here's what my plan of action is:
su
cp /usr/sbin/resize2fs / #since I'll need to umount /usr
touch /etc/nologin
/etc/init.d/single #is this really necessary?
umount /home
umount /usr
/resize2fs -p /dev/sda7 3616953
/resize2fs -p /dev/sda6 3478138
mount /home
mount /usr
/sbin/lilo #is this necessary?
/sbin/shutdown -h now
Does the above look right to people who've done this before? Is it OK
to do it all from single-user mode or should I boot up from a rescue
disk with resize2fs on it? If so, how do I make a rescue disk? :)
Thanks a lot for all your help,
Max
