lvm and crypto: is there a way to resize it ?
hi all
i have tried to mount logical volume due aes cipher enabled loop device
...
patch writen by Jari Ruusu <[email protected]> package can be found at: http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/
..
i have tried to add physical volume to my volumegroup and migrate the encrypted data from one physical volume to another. everything worked well ... i had no data corruption or lose.
i have tried to add a physical volume and extend the logical volume too but i did encounter a problem when i wanted to resize the reiserfs i use
base:~# pvcreate /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 pvcreate -- physical volume "/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1" successfully created
base:~# vgextend t4 /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 vgextend -- INFO: maximum logical volume size is 255.99 Gigabyte vgextend -- doing automatic backup of volume group "t4" vgextend -- volume group "t4" successfully extended
base:~# lvextend -L+27.95G /dev/t4/mothafuck lvextend -- rounding size to physical extent boundary lvextend -- extending logical volume "/dev/t4/mothafuck" to 31.84 GB lvextend -- doing automatic backup of volume group "t4" lvextend -- logical volume "/dev/t4/mothafuck" successfully extended
base:~# resize_reiserfs -f /dev/t4/mothafuck
<-------------resize_reiserfs, 2001-------------> reiserfsprogs 3.x.0jreiserfs_open: neither new nor old reiserfs format found on /dev/t4/mothafuck
resize_reiserfs: no reiserfs found on the device
this is correct since everything there is encrypted ...
base:~# resize_reiserfs -f /dev/loop1
<-------------resize_reiserfs, 2001------------->
reiserfsprogs 3.x.0j
resize_reiserfs: can't find mount entry
but this is not usable to :[
base:~# grep -v '^#' /etc/fstab /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda3 none swap swap 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/t4/mothafuck /glftpd/site reiserfs rw,defaults,noauto,loop=/dev/loop1,encryption=AES128 0 0
i have tried to fake the entry in fstab too .. but i did not help
i there anyone who uses something similar ?
i'll be happy for any advice
anybody can help me out pleas ?
Cheers
mark
ps: i am sorry for my bad english :)
