hi
I have FC3 it was out of space so i decided to increase its root partition size
I had some 22 Gb free space i used parted to increase the root partition size..from 7.6 Gb to 15 gb
after i rebooted i had seen partition table and it is showing that root size increased from 7.6gb to 15 gb but when i looked at the properties of root it still showed same size ....
means 2 different values how could it be possible....
see the execution of command fdisk


[root@abhi ~]# fdisk -l

[root@abhi ~]# fdisk -s /dev/hda8

of these which is ur root partiton

/dev/hda8 10489 12510 16241683+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 12511 14596 16755763+ 83 Linux

and what do u mean by this

but when i looked at the properties of root it still showed same size

what did u do for this??

also post the O/P of "df"

regards

my root size is /dev/hda8

and for root properties i right clicked the properties of file:/ on the konqueror window

post the O/P of

df

"and for root properties i right clicked the properties of file:/ on the konqueror window"
this always does not shows the correct size

regards

the problem i think is that "parted"has modifed only ur partiton table but it has really not done anything

i too find this confusuing
what we can learn form this is not to depend more on these third party tools

i prefer using only fdisk both on linux and from CD for partitoning

meanwhile if i find something usefull on this i will keep u posted

regards
