Great Video, Demonstrated very well. The only problem is if you had /boot instead of swap partition you will not be able to extend as you will be allocating sectors from /boot and boot data will be lost.. It only works if you are happy to loose data from later partition e.g. swap or tmp

In my case, my boot partition and my / partition are both /dev/sda3. How can I separate them ?

[manikanta]

before expand check the files and same verify after expand its very useful to us

Super, Will it work in Physical server also?

[chuwaca]

My friend. You deleted the partition and what about the data it is inside? Is it preserved ?

Thanks for video... but for me after reboot system goes in safe mode and when I see journctl it throws error
/dev/disk/by-uuid/ddaab76--- doesnt exits.

Im using a vm Debian on Virtual Box, i had some problemas with resize2fs, but i could fix it with a Live Distro with the gparted.
Thank you!

if i will delete the /root partition will be loss data ?

[ImEddieful]

Thank you! Exactly what I needed to get started.

Very helpful stuff man! Thank you very much.
Just a few things that helped me.
My / partition was mounted on sda5 which was a logical partition on extended partition sda4.
In this case you need to remove and recreate BOTH partitions in the same order (sda4 extended, sda5 primary)
Also for XFS partitions resize2fs does not work.
Just used $ xfs_growfs /dev/sda5

[jaipalreddykrishnareddy]

[stephenremillard]

Thank you Sir. I owe you a virtual beer!

[labamaharana]

Thank you very much, it helped me a lot.

[pinghe]

where does the 2 gb you extended come from

[girishsanai]

All data will be lost in other partition if we follow this

[elonlothbrok]

This is useless in a real world physical production server environment, not only because of the rebooting downtime but also in most cases you will need to have a new hard disk installed if its not a LVM partition.
