How do I resize BTRFS on opensuse 12.1. I have a default test install in vmware. I originally did not allocate a large enough partition and want to increase it. I allocated 2gb more space in vmware, and that space shows in Yast Formatter.
I ran #btrfs filesystem resize max /
but nothing changes.
I tried this 3 ways. One with the 2gb space not allocated, two with it allocated by not formatted, and third formatted in BTRFS. All 3 times the size does not change.
What am I missing?
(I have everything installed in /, except swap and /boot).
Can't you use the YaST partitioner to resize the partition?
Andreas
No. I get a pop up message saying "You cannot resize the selected partition because the file system on this partition does not support resizing".
/ is on /dev/sda3. Its the one I'm trying to increase. I understand btrfs allows this on the fly.
You could try:
btrfs filesystem resize /dev/sda3 max /
While the device is marked as optional here: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/articles/b/t/r/Btrfs%28command%29.html it may not be.
