Gparted Lesson

March 18, 2008

When using Gparted, this fucking program duz nicht komm mit gut instruktion. This gottverdamnt partition manager will do exactly what it says, but if you resize a partition, for instance a fucking ext3 file system on its own partition, the gottverdamnt thingie will nicht auto-resize. So:

#sudo apt-get install ext2resize

This is a fucking file system resizer. We Amish know a lot about ext3 filesystems. While Gparted can be used from a live-disk like puppylinux to resize a partion, Sie mussen einstiegen runlevel 1 (Debian).

#telinit 1

Now, unmount the drive or partition:

umount /dev/sda1 (or whatever the drive name is)

#ext2resize /dev/sda1 (amount in MB how much to resize file system for instance: 377548MB typed with the MB flush to the numbers)

Now remount:

#mount /dev/sda1

Und das ist zu ende von scene zwei…
