Use whatever filesystem-specific tool there was to grow the file system into all available space on the partition. Oh yes - and be damn careful with FAT :-) I can't remember the details, but when there was a problem it used to prefer a faulty filesystem size to the partition size, and would gaily sail off the end of the partition, trashing the next partition. My "record to USB" TV seems rather prone to this :-( Cheers, Wol -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
