Hi Guys, I'm experiencing a partitioning issue with parted in CentOS 4.6, I have an external drive that I want to resize using parted, it has two partitions hdd1 and hdd2 and I want to resize hdd1 from 321GB to 700GB and reduced hdd2 from 321GB to 15GB. Here's what I did:
# parted /dev/hdd (parted) p Disk geometry for /dev/hdd: 0.000-715404.867 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 333795.871 primary ext3 2 333795.872 715402.375 primary ext3 I removed partition 2: (parted) rm 2 I then created a new partition (shrunk the original partition 2 to make way for partition 1 increase): (parted) mkpart primary ext3 700000 715000 (parted) print Disk geometry for /dev/hdd: 0.000-715404.867 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 333795.871 primary ext3 2 699996.292 715002.319 primary As you can see I've freed some space, then I resize partition 1 with: (parted) resize 1 0.031 698000 Error: Filesystem has incompatible feature enabled I've also tried another this: (parted) mkpartfs primary ext3 700000.00 715402.375 No Implementation: Support for creating ext3 file systems is not implemented yet. Am I doing it all wrong? Do any of you guys encountered this before? If yes what is the workaround? I've already googled to no avail. TIA jan
