<p>Hi Andrew,</p>
<p>What's the filesystem? And are you using LVM?</p>
<p>Generally, you can resize a partition online if you're using LVM
- you can also do it if you're not using LVM by editing the
partition table, then running partprobe. Then, if you have an ext3
or ext4 file system, you can expand the filesystem to fill the
available space in the partition whilst it's mounted using
resize2fs.</p>
<p>This stackexchange answer: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://askubuntu.com/a/119458">https://askubuntu.com/a/119458</a>
provides a reasonable description of how to do it.</p>

<div dir="ltr">hi everyone
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there a way of resizing a disk that is in use? Running
a debian server (no gui) with 1 drive that was set to 5gb,
which is now running out of space. yes i know its a stupid
size (not my fault). Increased the vm to see 10gb.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>diskpart is no good as i'm booting to the drive which is
mounting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What is best way round? mount a live cd? add an extra
drive?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
