Talk:MojoDB Partition Resize

Possible warnings
I did this procedure on my pre2, and I have corrupted my /media/internal.

After the resize, and lvreduce, and mount, it still said 13.8GB. I didn't do an ls in there, but after repeating the resize (identical argument) and looking that time, it was definitely broken. Still 13.8G in df -h, and now with lots of ?? and garbage looking files in /media/internal

Possible causes:
 * I had an app with a jail mount open (wirc, trying to keep the screen on)
 * This mount didn't get un-done by the umount /media/internal
 * possibly use umount /dev/mapper/store-media repeatedly?
 * When I did the initial resize, there was a warning about the boot sector not matching its backup, but the resize and dosfsck seemed to complete normally.
 * I have a loopmount for my /opt on the cryptofs that I'd forgotten about. Not sure how the kernel deals with that.

 * just backup the whole damned thing first next time. It's only 13gb
 * don't be lazy. see above.
 * stop and investigate further when something looks off.
 * record exact fs sizes as trying to recover by re-extending and re-resizing involved some guesswork.
