Resizyng a root-file-system

  1. Increasing the size of a root-file-system:
  2.  e2fsck -f root_fs_tutorial-0.31
     dd if=/dev/zero of=root_fs_tutorial-0.31 bs=1 count=1 seek=550M conv=notrunc
     resize2fs -p root_fs_tutorial-0.31
     e2fsck -f root_fs_tutorial-0.31
    


  3. Downsizyng a rootfilesystem:
    • Create a new rootfilesystem with the size you want your filesystem to have:
    • > dd if=/dev/zero of=newfs bs=1 count=1 seek=1200M conv=notrunc > mkfs -t ext2 newfs

    • Copy the old filesystem content to the new one:
    • > mount -o loop oldfs /mnt/old/ > mount -o loop newfs /mnt/new

             > cp -a /mnt/old/* /mnt/new/
      

      > umount /mnt/old > umount /mnt/new
