Hello I have the feeling this may not be the right forum for the following question, but I d like to try it here anyway: This is the case: I had a 3x72GB HDD RAID5 shared external disk drives (HP MSA500), totalizing about 145,6 GB of data. I needed to increase the available amount of data, so I added a 4th 72GB HDD and using HP ACU I expanded my existing RAID5 Array, I have now about 218,5 GB available. But this is of course not reflected in my partition table. I had created 2 partitions on my drives, both formatted with ocfs2. I also run HP Mutlipath. See the status here under: [root@erasme ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 36.4 GB, 36414750720 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4427 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 14 4427 35455455 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/cciss/c0d1: 218.5 GB, 218513571840 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 53348040 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 1 488282 1953126 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c0d1p2 488283 35565344 140308248 83 Linux Disk /dev/cciss/c1d0: 218.5 GB, 218513571840 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 53348040 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/cciss/c1d0p1 1 488282 1953126 83 Linux /dev/cciss/c1d0p2 488283 35565344 140308248 83 Linux Disk /dev/md0: 1999 MB, 1999896576 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 488256 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/md1: 143.6 GB, 143675555840 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 35077040 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes My question is : I would like to know how to resize my partitions to reflect the changes. The problem is that I cannot afford loosing the data already on the ocfs2 partition. (the database). Is there a way to expand a formated ocfs2 partition without loosing the data on it?
