All, |

I've just added a fourth disk to my Raid 5 set increasing the capacity |
4 |
from 1.5TB to 2.25TB. I have 4 partitions on this volume set; the fourth |
5 |
of which is 1.49TB which is then further subdivided using lvm2. So using |
6 |
fdisk I deleted partition 4 and recreated it from the same position |
7 |
which expanded the partition to 1.99TB. I later realised that it should |
8 |
have expanded to 2.24TB so I did some googling and found that you can't |
9 |
create a partition >2TB with fdisk. I found a page that suggested using |
10 |
GNU parted to create partitions of this size but it didn't mention |
11 |
whether this would work to expand a partition. |
12 |
|
13 |
So basically does anyone have any experience moving from an fdisk |
14 |
partition table to a GNU parted partition table without losing |
15 |
filesystems, data, etc? |

Cheers, |
