instead, you should have used parted(8) or similar to expand the
partition, then used resize2fs(8) to expand the file system on this partition to its new size.
So I'm trying parted on a new, clean volume created from the snapshot, attached to /dev/sdm As I explained before, I can't do
$ parted /dev/sdm
[root@domU-12-31-39-0E-B2-61 ~]# parted /dev/sdm Error: Error initialising SCSI device /dev/sdm - Invalid argument
I *CAN* do parted on the path:
$ parted /dev/sdm1 GNU Parted 1.8.1 Using /dev/sdm1 Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
But then i get this error:
(parted) resize 1 0 500GB Error: The location 500GB is outside of the device /dev/sdo1.
Which is course is true ...
(parted) print
Disk /dev/sdm1: 21.5GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: loop
Number Start End Size File system Flags 1 0.00kB 21.5GB 21.5GB ext3
So I'm not sure where to go from here...
thanks! Dan
