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 at 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!
