Hi,
On my development VMWare ESX 3.5, I have the following :
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 85.9 GB, 85905637376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10444 cylinders

/dev/cciss/c0d0p7 2308 2320 104391 fc Unknown
How can I take some space from c0d0p4 to add it to c0d0p5?
Is c0d0p5 & c0d0p6 (& what about c0d0p7) linked to each other?
(As there's a + sign there - what does the + sign indicate).
How can I mount c0d0p5 - it hangs when I tried to mount it by
"mount /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 /mount_directory". Now when I issue
"fdisk -l", the display lists till c0d0p7 & hangs there (doesn't come
back to Unix command prompt even after the ESX is rebooted).
I'm trying to a bit more space to the Linux fs below:
# df -k

/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 3818672 1223876 2400812 34% /

I'm comparing with our Production ESX 3.5 :
Disk /dev/sda: 75.1 GB, 75169267712 bytes

/dev/cciss/c0d0p7 17832 17844 104391 fc Unknown
& we have bigger Linux fs :

/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 5036316 1296988 3483496 28% /

I have the following steps from someone to resize a Linux swap partition.
It gave no
error when the steps/commands are executed (in Unix Single user mode) in ESX
3.5
but after it's rebooted, the new size did not take effect, thus it did not
work. I probably
can't use it this time to resize this time :
use "fdisk -l" to find out if swap device ie /dev/hda3
parted
select /dev/hda3
print
resize START END
quit
quit
