Re: [opensuse] Expanding a file system to fill a partition

The new partition is rather larger than the old one, so of course, not all the partition is formatted with ect3. During discussion here of how to accomplish this upgrade, it was mentioned that it would be possible to remedy this incomplete formatting, but there was no mention of a way to do so.
No need for formatting. There is a grow feature in ext3, check man resize2fs. Regards, Matthias -- Matthias Bach www.marix.org „Der einzige Weg, die Grenzen des Möglichen zu finden, ist ein klein wenig über diese hinaus in das Unmögliche vorzustoßen.“ - Arthur C. Clarke

This is a pleasant surprise, so I must run <resize2fs sdb7> to fill out the partition completely. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
