Hi, I have a Redhat 4 virtual machine(running on Vmware Esx 4i) whose hard disk(with the '/' mount point) I wished to expand from about 37GB to 100GB. The old partition table of the disk:
Disk /dev/sdb: 39.8 GB, 39876157440 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4848 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 4814 38668423+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 4815 4847 265072+ 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 4815 4847 265041 82 Linux swap So I expanded the disk in VMware and then went back to Redhat to expand the disk using fdisk and changed the table to: Disk /dev/sdb: 107.3 GB, 107374182400 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 13054 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System */dev/sdb1 1 13054 104856223+ 83 Linux* I ran the resize2fs to grow the disk to its new size and it could mount on another host as a secondary drive. I tried to start the machine where it is the '/' after that and get a mount error:(error 6 mounting ext3) How can I get it to mount? I can still access the hard disk on another machine and can change the partitioning from there. Is the partitioning in the second instance wrong? Thanks in advance. Peter
