Hi All,
I'm working with a virtual machine and suddenly I realized I have no more space on root. Then I create a bigger disk file and I copied the old one to the new one using dd. The problem is that now I see the right size of the new (bigger) hard disk through YaST and fdisk but actually I can use only the space I had in the old hard disk (when I use df for instance)
Any idea to solve this problem?
You can do two things: Either you can make your filesystem bigger, if it is supported by your filesystem (for instance for reiserfs you could use resize_reiserfs). Or you could make a new "disk file" format it with a filesystem of your choice, have both the old and the new "disk files" mounted as loop devices, and copy all contents over.
