Hi folks,

i´m running RHEL 4.0 with 2 x 146 GB for the operating system and a storage with just 2 x 300GB for the application.

The application is almost 88% usage and this is the output of the fdis and df.

My question is, where is the 50 GB so i can use it to extend the partition c1d0p1 and c1d0p2 that are running out of space.

Did they being used to build the mirror? is not much 50 gb?

Please help me it's a production server.

regards

From your fdisk output it looks like you have some unpartitioned space on /dev/ccsis/c1d0. The device's last sector is shown as 585928220 and the last used sector on that device is shown as 520028639.

Thank you very much dear PTrenholme,

So how can i create a partition using that space? Second, is it possible to extend the /dev/cciss/c1d0p1 94G 79G 11G 88% /apps11i and /dev/cciss/c1d0p2 104G 86G 13G 88% /oracle11i to that partition?

And if i did well the calculation there is 31.42337 GB available.

cheers.

You should have at least parted on you system for editing a devices partition table, and you may have a GUI partitioning tool (qtparted, gparted, etc.) that you could use.

Warning: Never change a partition table without having a full device backup.

Note: Since you're using a (very obsolete) RHEL version, you should be paying Red Hat for system support. They should be able to help you with this problem.
