<0> people... i need a help with LVM...
<0> i need to expand my /usr lvol... ok... but how i do a resize on it if i can't umount it?
<1> beats me
<1> use a recovery console ?
<0> recovery console?
<0> sorry... i don't know it....
<0> can you give me a little explanation? :D
<1> yeah you know, load linux into a ramdisk.... the fedora cd has a recovery console, gentoo has a good one
<1> linux version of a windows 98 disk
<1> then u can access all your files an edit them however u want, i guess
<0> ok... i'm using fedora for the first time... i'm a slacker and work with HP-UX :D
<0> ok... i'll try it...
<1> i dont even know what u mean by lvm, so i cant really help you
<0> but it's a lot of work :(
<0> there is no official support to expand lvols online? :(
<1> i expect there is, somewhere, someone must know alla bout it
<1> do u know how to fix it if u could unmount the drive ?
<0> yes.
<0> it's simple...
<1> k, well u know all about that chroot thing ?
<0> yeah... but i think this is not the case to use chroot
<0> because de filesystem needs to be umounted.
<0> I like linux very much
<1> me to
<1> what are you gonna do to the drive ?
<0> but... this type of situation... makes me think that linux it's not ready for critial corporative use
<1> http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Expanding_Linux_Partitions_with_LVM
<1> whatever it is, its fixable
<0> cinex: sorry, my english is not good... i don't understand your last question... :D
<1> what do u intend to do to /usr once you unmount it
<0> expand it's size...
<1> that web link tells you how to do that, i think
<0> i want to add more 2GB on it.
<0> ok... i'll read... 1 min...
<0> thanx for the link :)
<1> Fedora Core 4 comes with a LVM tool called system-config-lvm. It's a GUI for managing LVM's. You can start it up by either selecting it from the menu bar or from the console with the command
<1> [root@localhost ~]# system-config-lvm
<0> i'm looking it now
<0> nice GUI :)
<1> :)
<0> well...
<1> doesnt help with the unmounting problem though
<0> it's just for display and very basic operation...
<0> not much functional :)
<0> no... hehehehe :D
<1> yeah the web page tells you how to do it with the konsole
<0> i'm googling... but not found nothing about the problem yet.
<1> if u load in a recovery console, then mount your partitions one by one, then chroot ( i think ) you could leave you real /usr partition out couldnt you ?
<1> and edit it like that? im not sure how that would work
<0> well...
<1> like i say, im guessing
<0> i think booting in recovery mode need's /usr mounted...
<0> it's a essencial filesystem... even for recovery...
<1> it will load a version of fedora into a ramdisk..... so you could keep /usr in the ramdisk
<0> cinex... i'll try a reboot
<1> k
<0> i'll try it too.
<0> brbr
<1> k
<0> brb
<0> thanx :)
<1> think i found the asnwer too
<0> cinex: hey!
<0> cinex: it worked! hehehehe :)
<0> that thing about reboot in rescue mode... worked :)
<0> thak you! hehehe :D
<1> really?
<1> i just read about going into single user mode then running the ash shell
<1> to do it
<1> http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:leiJLxBHLLAJ:www.skolelinux.no/~klaus/newnotater/x1738.html+unmount+/usr+lvm+resize&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd=1
<0> ash?
<1> for debian though
<1> yeah a simple bash shell it seems
<0> i'm reading it...
<0> maybe boots in single user mode works...
<1> either way you need to 'shut it down'
<0> i'll test it now :P
<0> just a minut... brb :D
<0> cinex: runlevel 1 does not work :P
<1> but the recovery console does ?
<0> yes... i successfuly expanded my /usr filesystem booting with the cd and entering "linux rescue" mode
<0> but that thing about "ash"... pfff :P
<1> it was for debian
<0> ok...
<0> i'm solving another problem with lvm now
<0> i got messages like "Incorrect metadata area header checksum" at LVM startup
<0> but i found the solution: http://copyleft.free.fr/wordpress/?p=14
<0> rebooting... brb :)
