Expanding XFS parition

chronosoft · 07-19-2006, 04:54 AM

I'm currently running Ubuntu on a 18 gig partition (of a 80 gig hard drive), but i'll like to expand that partition so that it'll take all available free space.

Thanks in advance

P.S: i do some multimedia related work sometimes, and i'll like to use "Hand brake 0.7.1" >.< but i can't seem to get it to compile... has anyone managed to get this application to compiled + work? Also Does the linux version of Hand Brake version have a GUI?

I believe gparted can handle resizing an xfs partition:

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/

Download the bootable live cd iso and give it a try; it's under 30 MB. It's a very handy free partitioning tool to have in your box. However, back up your data first; with any partitioning tool, resizing is the riskiest operation.
