EXT4 Resize
If you have an EXT4 disk mounted that you need to resize, do this.
Create a disk like this;
sudo fdisk /dev/sdb (make partition)
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 (make ext4)
mkdir /u01
mount /dev/sdb1 /u01
Then, if you increase the space, this will expand it on the OS
Operation | Command |
---|---|
Unmount the disk | umount /u01 |
Check it is removed on filesystem | df -h |
Amend partition | fdisk /dev/sdb |
Delete that partition | d |
Recreate the partition with new limits | n, p, 1, defaults, w |
Check Disk not mounted, unmount if so | df -h, umount /u01 |
Check with e2fsck (required before resize2fs resize) | e2fsck -f /dev/sdb1 |
Resize | resize2fs /dev/sdb1 |
Remount or reboot | mount /dev/sdb1 /u01 |
