Hello All,
I am working on expanding a partition on my SUSE Linux Server but having a problem doing so. Here is some background on the setup.
- The drive is a "Virtual Drive" on a Dell Powervault MD3220
- I have increased the allocated space to that virtual disk from about 973GB to 1.16TB
- I rebooted to make sure the system rescanned the drives
- I can see through "Partitioner" that 1. the /dev/sdc drive now shows 1.1TB as it should and 2. the /dev/mapper/mpathc partition is listed at 1.1TB as well.
- Looking at "partitioner" it lists that partition type as a DM.
- The underlying file system for that partition is ext3 and I am not using LVM on that partition.
The issue is using the df -h command, I still only see 973G.
I attempted using the multipathd -k"resize map mpathc" command but it sat for over an hour and I never saw a change.
I'd appreciate anyone's help on how to expand what the file system sees.
Here is a screen shot of the df -h, fdisk -l and Partitioner window.
Best regards,
Daniel Joaquin
