I've been fine with it, so long as you have done the ext2prepare before
hand. Otherwise you will only be able to go up to the next 16G boundary.

I asked it to skip the fsck check but I've been told this is not a good
idea....

Hi

I apologize in advance for asking a question not really appropriate for
this mailing list, but I couldn't find a better place with lots of
people managing lots of disk space. 

The question:
Has anyone of you been using ext2online to resize (large) ext3
filesystems?
I have to do it going from 500GB to 1TB on a productive system I was
wondering if you have some horror/success stories.
I'm using RHEL4/U4 (kernel 2.6.9) on this system.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
