Hi guys,
Hope all is well.
I need some guidance or a tutorial on how to grow my Centos server partition from 2TB to 3.5TB.
As you may know, fdisk doesn't allow growing a disk beyond the 2TB mark. I already did fdisk and got it to the 2TB threshold but I can't increase it any more.
What would be the best way to grow the /home partition since I need it to store more files etc.
Can I just create a new partition from that extra space added to the server (its additional space on the same disk, not a different disk).
How can I do it? That would be another way. Set up another partition with the remaining space and move stuff over there.
Or if I can just expand the 2TB partition to the 3.5TB with another command that works that would be great.
Here is my df -h:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /dev
tmpfs 7.8G 4.0K 7.8G 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 7.8G 9.2M 7.8G 1% /run
tmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/cl-root 50G 15G 36G 30% /
/dev/sda1 1014M 177M 838M 18% /boot
/dev/mapper/cl-home 2.0T 1.6T 376G 82% /home
/dev/loop0 2.2G 36M 2.0G 2% /tmp
tmpfs 1.6G 0 1.6G 0% /run/user/1010
How can I expand cl-home beyond 2TB without having to create another partition? can I just extend it without fdisk?
Let me know.
Teo
