Re: [Astlinux-devel] Expand disk partition?

[Michael K. <mic...@ip...>]

I can completely move my office VM from one host to another in <15m now.
Backup using tarsnap, move across the key, --fsck and restore.

I have done it so many times I'm thinking of calling the server Nomad1 or something similar.

Subject: [Astlinux-devel] Expand disk partition?

Is it possible to expand the disk partition that Astlinux uses?  For example I am running a test system in ESXi and expanded the disk from 16GB to 32GB.  I can see that the "physical" disk is expanded in Astlinux using fdisk... but is there a non-destructive way to expand /dev/sda2 to use that full space?

pbx-test / # fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 32 GiB, 34359738368 bytes, 67108864 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xdd48f40c

Device     Boot  Start      End  Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *      2048   524159   522112  255M  6 FAT16
/dev/sda2       524288 33554431 33030144 15.8G 83 Linux
pbx-test / #

Thanks
