I'm trying to add more space to a servers Logical Volumes:<br />
<br />
I added 2 400G to our raid controller and got it configured.<br />
To be safe, I just created a new partition /dev/sda3 instead of trying to expand /dev/sda2<br />
<br />
I used pvcreate /dev/sda2 - it was successful<br />
I used vgextend to include /dev/sda2 - it was successful<br />
I then used lvextend /dev/VolGroup00/lvHome -L + 360G - it was successful<br />
Now I'm trying to ext2online /home and I get the following:<br />
<br />
ext2online v1.1.18 - 2001/03/18 for EXT2FS 0.5b<br />
ext2online: ext2_open: invalid superblock<br />
ext2online: can't open /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvH<wbr />ome<br />
<br />
Anyway around this - will unmounting and running a disk check fix this? I really need to get this done online if possible. Very critical server. If it does need to go down, I need to get the fs resized asap and back up.<br />
Any suggestions?<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
