thank you for the reply, actually I've heard about this solution, and tried |
| 11 |
to use |
| 12 |
resize2fs to expand my filesystem (ext3), the problem is I didn't know how |
| 13 |
to use |
| 14 |
it, what does the "new size" parameter mean? the additional size or the new |
| 15 |
complete |
| 16 |
size? and the device must be a partition rather than the whole disk, |
| 17 |
otherwise, |
| 18 |
it complains "Bad magic number in super-block", and for a partition, it |
| 19 |
complains size |
| 20 |
not match or too large. any ideas? |
| 21 |
