I don't think it would actually matter with partition 1. If your filesystem has a 2kB or 4kB block size, then those extra 2 sectors won't ever be addressed. With partition 2, however, the additional 7 sectors extend the volume by one or two filesystem blocks (with 3 extra sectors on the end). I would go ahead and extend the partitions to the n-1 values. It's always safe to have a filesystem on a block device that is larger than the filesystem, but the converse is not true. You can also check the superblock with tune2fs -l to see how big the filesytem thinks the block device is. "Block count" * "Block size" / 512 should be <= the number of sectors. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
