[maaltan]

I cant seem to post a reply to my own post. I found the solution myself and wanted to share it. I keep getting a:

An appropriate representation of the requested resource ...

error. Sorry if this is in wrong board, closest I could find.

testing reply on new message. maybe something didnt get updated in the db right on previous post


------------------------------------edit ---------------------------------


Yep, reply works on this one .. hmm .. I will try deleting my old post and reposting


----------------------------------edit 2-----------------------------------

Ok damnit ... Didnt work. I can only guess that I stumbled into some sort code or string that breaks the php module. I will try replying to this thread and see if that works


---------------------------- edit 3 -----------------------------------------

Doesnt work here either ,.. I am currently cutting apart the post trying to find whats breaking it .. the following reply will change alot over the next 30-45 min until i find it


--------------------------- final edit -----------------------------------------

HA FIGURED IT OUT

you can use the word "f i l e s y s t e m" written as one word

must be used somehow in the new php.

file system is fine ..

file-system is fine

f i l e s y s t e m is fine

but written as one word blows up the reply module.

I will now put my newly edited and working post back in its proper thread

BTW. I think all this topic editing has artificially inflated my "number of posts" feel free to reduce them mods if you see fit. It should be about 15 or so I think.

I found it Nevermind. It's the e2fsadm command:

You can use it to reduce the logical volume and the file system simultainously and safely. You can then use pvmove to move the data and vgreduce to get rid of the drive/partition.


To remove a 2gb drive from /dev/lvol/myth physically located at /dev/hdb1.

First use the command and find the number of extents it is:

pvdisplay /dev/hdb1
...
Allocated extents:  XXXX

Then use the following to reduce the file system and logical volume by that amount.

e2fsadm -l -XXXX /dev/lvol/test

efs2adm is the command. '-l' specifies your working in extents. ' -XXXX' means you are removing XXXX units from the system (+xxxx means add).

Then you can finally move the data and remove the drive/partition from the group:

 pvmove /dev/hdb1
.
.
.
vgreduce lvol /dev/hdb1

Thank you. I'll redirect this to Coume.

Thanks maaltan for pointing that out

Indeed we do not know if this error comes from Phpbb or from a server restriction.
Anyway this error will happen when you try to enter a linux function... For instance, if you try with the w g e t function you will get the same error...

So thanks again for pointing that out and I hope you will enjoy being part of the mythTV community

P.S.: I moved the thread to the about MythTVtalk forum as such issues should discussed there, so next time you will find a bug (or have suggestion) you will know where to post it!
