Expanding parition ext4 size

leblinux · 10-25-2010, 04:39 AM

Hello, I have a 7GB unallocated space and I want to expand/increase the size of the preinstalled fedora 13 ext4 size from the unallocated space any ideas?
**Using gparted live is not working is just displating the whole sda drive.

Thanks.

Try Boot up from PartedMagic LiveCD and reize partitions.

Thanks for replying, however I used PartedMagic and by using Gparted it only displats /dev/sda as a whole 1 disk unallocated.
Note that I have NTFS partitions but nothing appears except one single hard disk /dev/sda.

You using gparted from cd/dvd?

Are you sure it shows only sda not sda1 sda2 etc

try this link: http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/11/04...-using-gparted

If using the bootable cd/dvd for gpared try that cd on any other linux system too and see what it displays

you cannot use partition magic etc, you have use command from terminal, no listen well, DO NOT UNMOUNT your partion in EXT4, just extend it . fedora uses LVM2 , so that is a different set

use lvdisplay and post what you got,
