Had a P4 1.5 system with an 19 Gg HD with MDK 9.1 installed.
I needed to upgraded to a bigger HD.
what I did:
- boot with Knnopix CD
- Partition the new (40 Gg) HD similar to the old one. hda1-swap hda2-ext3. Same as the 19 Gg one, only the second ext3 partition bigger to cover the rest of the 40Gg
- mount old disk at /mnt/oldpar
- mount new disk at /mnt/newpar
- dd if=/mnt/oldpar of=/mnt/newpar
(I know that last bit was a mistake)
- Than I lilo -r /mnt/newpar
- rebooted with the new hd in place and all was well.
After a while I noticed that fd still reports total space of 18Gg. when I hit the 18Gg limit the ext3 is unable to use any more space on the disk.
[Q] How can I fix my ext3 structure so it will use all available space. ( I could always attach a temporary hd this time cp -a everything back and forth but is this the only way?)
