parted and cfdisk
Hi,
I've tried to use parted to resize my /usr partition. Yes, I
know this is dangerous but I decided to try.
Well, it seems that parted did a good job! At least I can boot
my computer again with no data loss yet!
But, even with parted and cfdisk reporting the new partition
size, a mount (or df) command only shows the old size. Look bellow:
-----------------------------
(parted) print
Disk geometry: 1-788, 8032k cylinders
Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags
1 1 97 primary ext2 boot
2 98 398 primary ext2
...
(parted)
-------------------------------
cfdisk reports
-------------------------------
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hda1 Boot Primary Linux ext2 797.86
hda2 Primary Linux ext2 2475.81
....
----------------------------------
paracleto:~# df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 766848 356756 371136 49% /
/dev/hda2 1438920 1265396 100432 93% /usr
....
------------------------------------
What's going on here? How can I make the kernel
(mount/df) recognize the new partition size?
I did e2fsck -f /dev/hda2 (unmounted) with no help!
Thanks for any info!
