Hi, I'm attempting to expand /dev/sda9 by the free space that has been added to the attached SAN. I've listed some output below. ------------------ # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 9920624 745004 8663552 8% / /dev/sda8 4956284 160920 4539532 4% /home /dev/sda7 5952252 1215568 4429444 22% /usr /dev/sda5 7936256 817712 6708892 11% /opt /dev/sda2 9920624 708364 8700192 8% /var /dev/sda9 105537788 72796704 27293448 73% /var/www /dev/sda1 194442 18096 166307 10% /boot tmpfs 2021896 0 2021896 0% /dev/shm # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 9.5G 728M 8.3G 8% / /dev/sda8 4.8G 158M 4.4G 4% /home /dev/sda7 5.7G 1.2G 4.3G 22% /usr /dev/sda5 7.6G 799M 6.4G 11% /opt /dev/sda2 9.5G 692M 8.3G 8% /var /dev/sda9 101G 70G 27G 73% /var/www /dev/sda1 190M 18M 163M 10% /boot tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm ------------------ # parted GNU Parted 1.8.1 Using /dev/sda Welcome to GNU Parted!

What should I have done to attached the free space to partition 9? Thank you in advance. Craig.
Hi, I still have issues with expansion. Can someone let me know if I've missed something. Thank you Craig.
I think it will be easier to resize your partitions with GParted: http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted
