WRONG!!! (or partially anyway) Here's the rundown: |
| 8 |
reiser3, resizable online in two ways |
| 9 |
1)resize_reiserfs /path/to/dev |
| 10 |
2)mount -o remount,resize /path/to/dev |
| 11 |
XFS, MUST be mounted to resize use xfs_grow /mount/point |
| 12 |
JFS, resizable online with a mount -o remount,resize /path/to/dev |
| 13 |
ext2/3, resizable offline reliably. Online resize is a *very* experimental |
| 14 |
experiment. Have good backups. |
