Hi,
I have a problem with GNU Parted 1.6.3, on linux RedHat 7.3. I tried to
expand an LVM (and then, in a second try, a simple SCSI) partition from
1.2Tb to 1.6Tb.
But I got :
1/ a warning : parted said it is neither a SCSI disk, nor an IDE. I can
"Ignore or Cancel", and choose to Ignore, so it's not a real problem. It
work fine on little partitions (I tried with partition size < 100 Gb,
with both LVM and SCSI). But it gives me the message with both LVM and
standard SCSI disks. SCSI should be detected...
2/ an error : on the LVM part, the command "parted /dev/vg00/lv01 check"
gave me a *negative* value for the partition size ! Then the program
freeze while growing the partition - I leave it running more than 6
hours. I didn't try whith the SCSI disks (I can't currently umount this
partition, sorry).
So my questions :
- can I pass this size limitations, and how ?
- maybe it were a good idea to document this limits in the man page :)
- how can I give you more information for debugging ?
And a request :
- it should be usefull to add a "progress bar" when parted is growing a
partition. I didn't know if 'parted' was frozen or working :)
thanks,
regards,
Philippe.
