This article mainly introduces how to use fdisk to expand disk space related knowledge, the content is detailed and easy to understand, the operation is simple and fast, has a certain reference value, I believe you will have something to gain after reading this article on how to use fdisk to expand disk space, let's take a look at it.

Fdisk is used to manage the linux disk, partition, format and other operations, fdisk command is used to observe the physical use of the hard disk, can also partition the hard disk. It uses a traditional question-and-answer interface rather than an interactive cfdisk interface like DOS fdisk, so it is inconvenient to use, but its functions are not compromised at all.

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, restart the system and use fdisk-l to check again, you will find that the hard disk space has become larger.

This experiment mainly extends the partition / dev/sda4. If it is a production environment, please make a backup and save it to other partitions in advance. Although expanding the partition size will not cause data loss, for security reasons, please make a backup in advance. First, simulate some data:

[root@linuxprobe data] # mkdir test [root@linuxprobe data] # echo "we are Linuxer" > linuxprobe [root@linuxprobe data] # lltotal 24Murray Rukyu. 1 root root 15 May 23 21:59 linuxprobedrwx-. 2 root root 16384 May 23 15:07 lost+founddrwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 May 23 21:51 test [root@linuxprobe ~] # umount / dev/sda4 # Unmount disk Partition

If prompted that the disk is busy, use fuser to find out the program that will be using the disk and end it.

Fuser-m-v / datafuser-m-v-I-k / data

Use the fdisk tool to delete the / dev/sda4 partition first, and then create a new partition. Note that the starting column number should be the same as the original (which is a key step to ensure that the data is not lost), and the end column number defaults to enter using all disks.

After recreating the partition, you need to restart it.
