Hi John,<div><br></div><div> I realise it is a bit of an assumption that if a raid array is set up with /boot, swap and a big partition, the big one is /, but I think it's a fairly valid assumption :-)</div><div><br></div>
<div> Yeah, resize2fs, that'd be why ext{tab} didn't bring it up on my system, hopefully that'll make life easier for Roger, especially if it is mounted as ext3 or 4.<br><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>--</div>

Hi Roger,<br>
<br>
The size thing is a container mindset issue. /dev/md1 is the container for<br>
the filesystem, and although the container has been grown with --grow but<br>
the filesystem within it has not. You need to use the filesystem tool to<br>
resize the filesystem and unless you're using xfs, I believe you'll have to<br>
do this offline (livecd). extresize I believe is the tool for ext(2/3/4),<br>
but I haven't got the full suite available to me at the moment to check.<br>

Works with ext3 live too:<br>
<br>
"The resize2fs program will resize ext2 or ext3 file systems. It can be<br>
used to enlarge or shrink an unmounted file system located on device. If<br>
the filesystem is mounted, it can be used to expand the size of the<br>
mounted filesystem, assuming the kernel supports on-line resizing. (As of<br>
this writing, the Linux 2.6 kernel supports on-line resize for<br>
filesystems mounted using ext3 only.)."<br>
<br>
Unless it's / you can just unmount it and resize it anyway.<br><font color="#888888">
