unused partition space after clonezilla move?
Hi, I have just moved my fedora to a newer, more power saving, larger and faster disk. I made up new Partitions (bigger than the old ones) and used clonezilla for the move. This worked pretty well except for the partition space: I have now e.g. 205GB unused space on my /home partition. How do I get the fs to cover the whole part? And afterwards: Is there a way to convert an ext3 into ext4 fs from the desktop (seems it is hard to unmount /home) regards Christoph signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Yeah, I'd expect using a clone tool would give you new partitions the same size as the old ones. Though there might be options to use it either way. How do I get the fs to cover the whole part? You could grow the partition. I haven't used clonezilla, so I couldn't advise on how to use it to do that. And afterwards: Is there a way to convert an ext3 into ext4 fs from the desktop (seems it is hard to unmount /home) Well, if you log out as a user, and log in as root, root's home space isn't inside /home, so /home doesn't need to be mounted. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

How do I get the fs to cover the whole part? Get systemrescuecd. Boot off of it. Use gparted to expand the partition in question. I use it all of the time with clonezilla. to resize a partition to make it smaller before cloneing, then expanding the partition afterwards so I same storage and it is easier to migrate with a smaller partition.
