hi felix, thanks your your quick response. the filesystem is indeed mission critical :-) that's why i wanted to resize it online to avoid downtimes. but i guess the downtime in case of a failure during online resizing would be longer than a offline (unmounted) resize :-) are there any experiences how long the resizing process for such a size would take? and one (rather silly - but i better play it safe) last question: with "unmounted" you mean simply to unmount the overlying ext3-partition? the drbd-device should still be active and in the connected state, right? best regards, lowshoe Felix Frank-2 wrote: > > Hi, > > On 05/31/2011 07:46 AM, lowshoe wrote: >> resize2fs /dev/drbd0 >> >> can i now safely make this last step and resize the overlying >> ext3-partition online without data-loss or did i miss something? do i >> need to remount /dev/drbd0 at the end? > > I believe this is supposed to be possible.
