# resize2fs /dev/vg/gert_var
resize2fs 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)
Resizing the filesystem on /dev/vg/gert_var to 786432 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/vg/gert_var is now 786432 blocks long.
A breeze! Gotta love it 
And this also feels very baroque once you’ve used ZFS for a while.
Also note that the ext2, 3, and 4 filesystems all support online live resizing, which has two advantages:
* You can skip the forced fsck
* You don’t need to kill processes using the filesystem, they can continue writing to the filesystem.
It takes a bit longer to do the actual resize, but if your filesystem is huge (say, a terabyte or so) the lack of forced fsck is a real time saver.
Next time, try:
lvextend -r -L +1G /dev/rootvg/varlv
Gotta love it even more
I guess about everyone loves LVM
Tnx for filling the gaps!
Asfor zfs – Im still sad the licences are incompatible.
