<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've used LVM2 in the past, and have followed the
steps in the LVM HOWTO, but have run into problems trying to grow a reiser3
filesystem. The filesystem has worked fine for several months, but now I'm
trying to make it larger...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Nothing is written to syslog when resize_reiserfs
runs. How can I tell if this is a LVM2 error providing wrong sizes... or if it's
reiserfs tools having the problems? If I lvreduce things to the initial size I
can remount things OK, and reiserfsck reports no errors.</FONT></DIV>
