Bug#496020: lvm2: Workaround for missing fsadm

[Markus]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.39-6
Followup-For: Bug #496020


Hi

I also ran in to the missing fsadm problem. I have not found any explanation
why Debians lvm2-deb is missing this command. It is not just some script
that one needs only in some special cases but in my opinion it's a very
important script which is called by the main commands that resize logical
volumes.

Of course you can manually run resize_reiserfs etc. but why do that when you
can automatically resize the fs in question with one extra switch. I'm glad
to say that I found a workaround for this problem.

Get the fsadm-script and man-page from the source tree of lvm2.

Below are the needed commands. You can copypaste them right to the console
and then you got the working fsadm and (lvextend) -r option.

cd /usr/src/ && apt-get source lvm2 &&  cp lvm2-2.02.39/scripts/fsadm.sh \
/usr/local/sbin/fsadm && chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/fsadm && cp \
lvm2-2.02.39/man/fsadm.8 /usr/local/man/man8/
