[SOLVED] resize2fs

pshlinuxq · 02-19-2018, 10:54 PM

trying to use resize2fs (it isn't in /sbin/). so installing "yum install e2fsprogs". This typically works, but on this machine there is an error below.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Maybe this isn't a newbie question. Can someone move this to the right location? I'm new to LQ

I'm also running CentOS 7.3 at the moment and as below, I have have the "e2fsprogs" package install by default. So I'm not sure why your having to install it yourself?

Code:

Installed Packages
Name        : e2fsprogs
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 1.42.9
Release     : 9.el7
Size        : 2.4 M
Repo        : installed
From repo   : anaconda
Summary     : Utilities for managing ext2, ext3, and ext4 filesystems
URL         : http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/
License     : GPLv2
...

You can try the following commands - but try the first one first, before the others.

Code:

yum clean
yum check          
yum check-update

Then try installing the "e2fsprogs" package. Let us know how it goes.

That's right... your a

so this forum is ok - AFAIK

pshlinuxq · 02-20-2018, 09:54 AM

yeah not sure why it's not installed. I was just trying to expand a volume using resize2fs (lsblk shows larger than df)

just for reference i had to run "yum clean all"

and "yum check" does show a possible problem?

Code:

yum check
Loaded plugins: langpacks, versionlock
Repository epel is listed more than once in the configuration

after running all those commands....still same error when trying to install e2fsprogs

Sorry about the "yum clean all" command, I forgot the "all" part of it.

Try disabling the "epel" repo and install the package:

Code:

yum --disablerepo=epel install e2fsprogs

pshlinuxq · 02-20-2018, 10:17 AM

Hi jsbjsb001,

Same error with disable flag.

jsbjsb001 · 02-20-2018, 10:25 AM

Try to skip the dependencies and install it:

Code:

yum --skip-broken install e2fsprogs

pshlinuxq · 02-20-2018, 10:27 AM

Code:

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
    e2fsprogs-1.42.9-7.el7.x86_64 from base
    e2fsprogs-libs-1.42.9-7.el7.x86_64 from base

skips them

Well, it wasn't them I was hoping it would skip.

Let's just see what the status of the "e2fsprogs" package is:

Code:

yum info e2fsprogs

While we could try all sorts of other tricks, it may be best to just backup what data (personal/business) you wish to keep, and do a re-install to CentOS 7.4

As it maybe conflicting with 7.4 repo's.

pshlinuxq · 02-20-2018, 12:07 PM

Is there any other utilities you can think of that I can use?

the core of the problem is this:

Code:

lsblk
NAME    MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
xvda    202:0    0   60G  0 disk 
└─xvda1 202:1    0   60G  0 part /
xvdf    202:80   0  500G  0 disk /ebs

Code:

df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1      9.8G  7.4G  1.9G  80% /
devtmpfs        7.9G     0  7.9G   0% /dev
tmpfs           7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           7.8G   17M  7.7G   1% /run
tmpfs           7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/xvdf       500G  4.2G  496G   1% /foo
tmpfs           1.6G     0  1.6G   0% /run/user/1000
tmpfs           1.6G     0  1.6G   0% /run/user/100

notice the df only shows 10gb but lsblk shows there is 60gb

lsblk is not showing the 'tmpfs' folders.

You should be able to setup new partitions when you install CentOS 7.4 Just use a 'live CD' to backup your data with, and use say a USB or similar that's big enough for your data.

You could try downloading the package you were trying to install before, as a RPM package. Then try forcing an install with the rpm command.

pshlinuxq · 02-20-2018, 12:50 PM

Sorry should have put more details.

"lsblk is not showing the 'tmpfs' folders."

correct, but the concern is about xvda1, notice in lsblk it shows 60gb and with 'df' it shows only 10gb. How can i expand that?

rknichols · 02-20-2018, 01:06 PM

How do you have your .repo file configured for base and updates? It looks like you are referencing some out-of-date mirror. When I look at http://vault.centos.org/7.3.1611/os/x86_64/Packages/ I see e2fsprogs-1.42.9-9.el7.x86_64.rpm, not the version 1.42.9-7 that you are picking up.
