Howdy,

I recently upgraded my harddisk from a 4,3gb to a 120gb.
Now i didn't want to reinstall my linux, so i dediced to ghost my partitions.
But for my / partition i increased the partition aswell from 3,4 gb to 10 gb.
Only after ghosting the partition linux still sees it as a 3,4gb partition. But if i look in fdisk you can see it's bigger. How can i tell linux that the partition is bigger? preferably withouth reinstalling.

Thanks in advance

What you are seeing is the filesystem reporting its size. Depends on the fs type as to resizing tool - something like gparted might help, although I prefer to use the native tools.
