Hi b1gnas,
As it is the first time we use resize2fs on big partition and we don't use the standard way to create the raid5, we discover some unpredictable issues for us.
Indeed, it seems that resize2fs requires much memory and the current swap partition is too small.
(note: if we built the raid5 directly with 5 disk but sda8 declared as missing, we would not have the issue).
To increase the swap memory, we go to use partitions sd[bcde]7 to do it. Their size is 512MB so the newswap size will be after 2,5GB...
In putty do for each sd[bcde]7 partitions
- Code: Select all
fdisk /dev/sdb
in fdisk environment do the sequence: t(enter)7(enter)82(enter)w(enter)y(enter)q(enter)
mkswap /dev/sdb7
swapon /dev/sdb7
To check if it is ok do
- Code: Select all
cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sda3 partition 524284 13808 -1
/dev/sdb7 partition 524284 0 -2
(you have now 2 lines) repeat for the other disks.
Then try again to resize the fs on the raid
Please to post
- Code: Select all
cat /proc/swaps
when resize2fs is running (wait a bit time before to do it)
