By the end of the log, the partition type seems to have been changed from sun-ufs to ext3 but the size is still 2GB: parted_server: OUT: 3 49152-2147532799 2147483648 primary ext3 /dev/sda3 root parted_server: OUT: 4 2147532800-2684403711 536870912 primary linux-swap /dev/sda4 swap parted_server: OUT: 5 2684403712-6979371007 4294967296 primary ext3 /dev/sda5 usr Did parted initialize a 6 GB filesystem on the sda3 partition, or did you end up with a 2 GiB filesystem at the start of a 6 GB partition? --
