lvextend --resize does not resize ext4 based underlying filesystem
Issue
- After executing the 'lvextend' command with the '-r' option:
#lvextend -L <size> -r -v /name/of/logical-volume
- The ext4 filesystem should Auto-resize itself instead of manually performing 'resize2fs' after performing 'lvextend'.
- While checking for filesystem features:
# tune2fs -l /name/of/logical-volume
tune2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
tune2fs: Filesystem has unsupported feature(s) while trying to open /name/of/logical-volume
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL5)
- Logical Volume Manager (LVM2) managed volumes
- LVM2 version prior to lvm2-2.02.88-7.el5
- Ext4 filesystem
