Hello,
I have an ext3 file system of about 8TiB in size. At the rate data is
added to the file system it will fill up in a few months so I'm weighing
my options. One option would be to create a new ext4 file system and
copy everything over to a new, larger ext4 file system. Another option
would be to modify the software that uses this file system so it can use
multiple file systems. Finally, I could could convert the existing file
system to ext4 and then resize it. Is this advisable? Has anyone tried
this?
Thanks,
Sean McCauliff
