The fdasd partitioning tool only alters the disk's partition table, which
is outside of the partition being resized - making it suitable for
extending a partition (assuming there is free formatted space after it) or
shrinking a partition (assuming you have already shrunk the filesystem
within it).

Dear all,
Is there a tool that would allow to increase the partition size of a DASD
partition?
I would need to extend an ext2 filesystem on a DASD without loosing the
data on it. resize2fs does not extend the partition size. Is there an
appropriate tool for that on s390x?
Thank you very much in
Assuming there's free space following your existing partition, you can use
fdasd to increase the partition size (just make sure you keep the same
starting cylinder), and then resize your filesystem with resize2fs after
the partition has been extended.

Hi, Florian.
There is no tool that I am aware of that would do this, but there are
some manual steps you can do to expand the partition size:
1) add a new minidisk of the appropriate size to the zLinux image
2) dasdfmt it
3) make a partition: fdasd -a
4) put an ext2 (or ext3) file system on it
Rick Troth, in a private note to me, has made the excellent suggestion
of using rsync instead of cp below, to avoid problems with symlinks:
rsync -a -u -x -H -K -O -S /old/. /mnt/.
Thanks Rick.

Dear Christian,
Unfortunately this does not workout since FDASD does not allow to enter

fdasd /dev/dasdl

reading vtoc ..: ok

FWIW, using fdasd to extend a partition in-place does work when you have
free space after the end of your partition and had pre-formatted the
entire DASD (or minidisk) prior to creating your original partition table.
Also, if you have another DASD available, and are concerned about how

Assuming CDL, the following sequence should work. (Is untested, but
similar to steps I have run previously.)

Florian, use the rsync command as Rick Troth has suggested,the cp
-ax does not handle symlinks as we want it to. As an aside, I'm not all
that thrilled by trying to expand a filesystem or partition in place,
either.
