how to run resize2fs with Rocks Cluster

Post by RobbieTheK » 2019/07/31 15:41:35

We hae a 3Ware RAID controller set to RAID 5. I added 3 1.5 TB drives successfully. How do we get Centos and Rocks to recognize the additional space? resize2fs says nothing to do.

Code: Select all

resize2fs /dev/sdb1
resize2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
The filesystem is already 1887577600 blocks long.  Nothing to do!
I also tried parted

Code: Select all

parted /dev/sdb resizepart 1 yes -- -1s
Usage: parted [OPTION]... [DEVICE [COMMAND [PARAMETERS]...]...]
Apply COMMANDs with PARAMETERS to DEVICE.  If no COMMAND(s) are given, run in
interactive mode.

fdisk -l

Re: how to run resize2fs with Rocks Cluster

You need to expand the /dev/sdb1 partition from ~8TB to the full size of the "disk" - i.e. 13.5TB. You cannot use fdisk to do that on CentOS 6 as it is not GPT enabled and will corrupt your current set up so do not use fdisk to make any changes to /dev/sdb. You attempted to use parted resizepart but you got the syntax wrong so it did not work... actually, it's worse than that: parted on CentOS 6 doesn't even have a resizepart command, it's just 'resize' on el6 but that says it wants to do both partition and filesystem in one go.

Personally I think I might be tempted to download a copy of systemrescuecd and use its GUI version of gparted to make the changes. Might be wise to just resize the partition that way and get resize2fs to do the actual filesystem resize on CentOS.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Thanks for the recommendation and that worked well! So much easier with the gparted GUI!
