Issue
- How to extend a
gfs2filesystem when I extended the LUN? - The
gfs2_growcommand is not returning and I do not see any errors on the/var/log/messagesfrom the system I issued the command. - The
gfs2_growcommand never completed and appears to hang for hours/days. -
The error message below appears on the other clustered systems when running the
gfs2_growcommand:kernel: device-mapper: table: device X:X too small for target
