Thanks all for you comments.
Pascal thanks for the tip about extending one of the partition and
using the free space i will do so but for now my primary problem is to
create a boot partition so that i can boot and replace the old 1.5 TB
with 2TB drive. as you said boot partition in GPT can be created
anywhere not necessarily at start.
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 2048 7813119 3.7 GiB FD00 Linux RAID
3 27344896 1980469247 931.3 GiB FD00 Linux RAID
4 1980469248 2930276351 452.9 GiB FD00 Linux RAID
5 7815168 27344895 9.3 GiB FD00 Linux RAID
As you can see partition 2 is missing. when i am creating the new
partition it is starting from the "2930276352" (+1 ending sector of
partition 4)
should i create partition 2 of a size of 1 GB. and make it as a boot
partition and install grup on that partition. do you think performing
these steps will do the job. or i have to more in order to boot my New
2TB GPT drive.
Thanks,
Yousuf
I've stopped using separate boot partitions since wheezy, which allowed
systems to boot directly from a RAID array. I've found boot partitions
provide no real benefit on any computer less than a decade old.
If you are referring to the ef02 partition, you don't install grub on
it. In fact, installing grub on the mbr is preferred.
Partition numbers have no intrinsic meaning. They just identify the
partition and, as you have seen, have nothing to do with the layout of
the disk (in your case 1,5,3,4). You can call your new ef02 partition
"2" or any other unused single-digit number (yes, you could call it 20
or 111, but why bother?).
