Also check out ext2online and lvextend.  What distribution are you using?  I 
have RHEL3 and RHEL4.  RHEL3 has e2fsadm, RHEL4 has ext2online. (They aren't 
Red Hat-specific utilities, so you should have access to them with SUSE or any 
other distributino).  e2fsadm only works on unmounted filesystems, but it will 
automatically resize the underlying device.  ext2online works on a mounted 
filesystem, but the underlying device must be resized first (parted or 
lvextend).

Yes, you can resize / as well.

OK Tim. Yes, I use LVM2. I will give a look at e2fsadm. 

I am not very sure but I have the impression that / can also be resized ? That 
would be interesting too. 

Thank you very much.

1.  Should be fine for a basic server.  If you load up a bunch of X-based 
stuff, you may start running out of room. 2.  Are you using lvm?  If so, see 
e2fsadm.  If not, I use parted to resize the underlying partition, then 
resize2fs to resize the filesystem itself.

Subject: Incrise the size of /home


Hi everyone,
I have a couple linux-related issue. Maybe my questions are much too basic but 
I'm still quite a rookie, so please forgive me if so. 

Here go my questions: 

1.- I have currently 2'3 GB (1 x 3339 cyl. 3390-3 disk) for my linux system. Is 
this OK or is it too little for a production Linux System ?

2.- I would like to increase the size of /home. Is it possible ? if so, how ? 
should I first mount a filesystem, copy everything into it and then mount that 
filesystem into /home ?

Any help will be very welcome. 

Thanks in advance.
