Extending an ext4 filesystem


To resize an ext4 file system you must use the resize4fs command.The resize4fs command is provided by the e4fsprogs package. 

# yum install e4fsprogs


Once installed, you should resize the filesystem using the below filesystem. this can be performed online also


# resize4fs /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02



If the filesystem is "dirty" or has contiguity errors a file system check (fsck) must be run against the file system first. After this, the above resize4fs command should be used and the file system can be mounted again.

# e4fsck -f /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02
