[rhn-users] Expanding a partition

[Trice, Jim]

I've never done it myself BUT. The following link has some information on
expanding partitions and file systems using parted.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [rhn-users] Expanding a partition

 

All,

 

I'm wondering if any of you have expanded a partition with out data loss with
out using LVM. I have expanded the space on my SAN and Linux recognizes the
space. Red Hat support tells me I have to blow away my existing data and
partition and create new ones. Any thoughts? I was certain that an ext2 file
system could be expanded. I'm running RHEL 3 BTW. 

 

Thanks,

 

Jim Ruddell
