My virtual disk has grown from 10 to 50GB. Now I have two partitions: / dev/sda1 - Linux - 1.8 GB - start 1 - end 1045 - Useb by: / / dev/sda2 - Linux swap - 2 GB - start 1045 - end 1305 - Used by: Virtual memory Is it possible to expand the first partition so that it uses new available space? If yes, is the right thing to do? I'm using Debian 6 on a VPS (VMware). Thanks.
Ow man, how badly is google your friend! ;-) It's even under the "i'm feeling lucky" button! http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions
Oh man , I still have opened all the found relevant pages, including the one you suggested. But it does not seem to match my case. I have to work on a remote VPS on which I can not boot from CD. But it may be that I did not understand; I'm not very experienced Thanks.
Do you have a rescue system for your remote VPS? You can use the rescue system instead of the Knoppix Live-CD (if the rescue system provides all necessary commands).
