resize2fs: Permission denied to resize filesystem
The Solution A file system inconsistency blocked the online resize of the disk, which can be observed in the messages as logged below:
--message-- kernel: EXT4-fs warning (device dm-1): ext4_resize_begin:32: There are errors in the filesystem, so online resizing is not allowed --dmesg-- EXT4-fs (dm-4): warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended Since the file system is in an inconsistent state, a file system check is required for this affected file system, so online resizing is not possible and the file system has to be unmounted.
Note: You can refer “man e2fsck” if you want to know more about this command.
