The servers we manage may suffer from insufficient disk space as the business volume continues to grow. For example, the hard disk space of the shared file server is insufficient. At this time, we need to increase the disk space to meet the online business; and Or when we use Linux, sometimes due to improper partitioning when installing the system, some partitions have insufficient space, and some partitions have excess space. We can use the fdisk partition tool to dynamically adjust the size of the partition;
Expand disk space
The hard disk space is 20G. If you use vSphere Client to increase the disk size, you need to add another 10G space;
After the expansion is completed, restart the system and use fdisk -l to check again. You will find that the hard disk space has become larger;
[root@linuxprobe ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 32.2 GB, 32212254720 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3916 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0005210c Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 26 204800 83 Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 26 1301 10240000 83 Linux /dev/sda3 1301 1497 1572864 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 1497 2611 8952832 83 Linux [root@linuxprobe ~]# df -hT Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 ext4 9.7G 1.5G 7.7G 16% / tmpfs tmpfs 939M 0 939M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 ext4 194M 34M 151M 19% /boot /dev/sda4 ext4 8.5G 148M 7.9G 2% /data
Re-create partition and adjust partition information
This experiment mainly expands the /dev/sda4 partition. If it is a production environment, please make a backup in advance and save it to other partitions. Although expanding the partition size will not cause data loss, for safety reasons, please do it in advance. Good backup;
First simulate some data:
[root@linuxprobe data]# mkdir test [root@linuxprobe data]# echo "we are Linuxer" > linuxprobe [root@linuxprobe data]# ll total 24 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 15 May 23 21:59 linuxprobe drwx------. 2 root root 16384 May 23 15:07 lost+found drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 May 23 21:51 test [root@linuxprobe ~]# umount /dev/sda4 #卸载磁盘分区
If it prompts that the disk is busy, use fuser to find out the program that is using the disk and end it;
fuser -m -v /data fuser -m -v -i -k /data
Use the fdisk tool to first delete the /dev/sda4 partition, and then create a new partition. Note that the starting magnetic column number must be consistent with the original one (a key step to ensure that data is not lost), and the ending magnetic column number is the default. Press Enter to use all disks.
[root@linuxprobe ~]# fdisk /dev/sda
