All,

We are pleased to announce the release of OCFS2 TOOLS 1.2.2. This

The summary of changes in this release are as follows:
* tunefs.ocfs2: Volume offline resize (growth)

Please refer to the News section in OCFS2 Tools project page for the

SLES users will need to contact Novell to obtain the binary RPMs
for this release. The source RPM has been made available to Novell.

The RPMs for the Red Hat's EL4 on x86, x86_64, ia64, ppc and s390x
architectures are available in the Download section.

NOTE: There is a known bug in this release. When one upgrades (rpm -U)
the tools rpm, the o2cb and ocfs2 services are unregistered and will
need to be registered manually. (To be precise, the bug is in the older
1.2.1 tools rpm but affects users upgrading to the newer 1.2.2.)
Use chkconfig --add <service> to register the services.

# rpm -Uvh ocfs2-tools-1.2.2-1.i386.rpm
# chkconfig --add o2cb
# chkconfig --add ocfs2

Ensure the services are active using chkconfig --list <service>.
