A client failed to contact me once one of their raid(5) drives failed. Last week, another drive failed. They had a tech come out and replace the failed drives. He loaded Ubuntu 8.04 and I gave him instruction on how I wanted him to partition the drive and what user to create.
He not only failed to create the user I specified, he also screwed up the partitioning. I didn't notice that until today.
Here is what the drive looks like:
$ sudo parted /dev/sda print
Disk /dev/sda: 220GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 10.0GB 10.0GB primary ext3 boot 2 10.0GB 220GB 210GB extended 6 10.0GB 16.6GB 6597MB logical ext3 5 216GB 220GB 3997MB logical linux-swap Here is what it should be (notice partition 6 End and Size):
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 10.0GB 10.0GB primary ext3 boot 2 10.0GB 220GB 210GB extended 6 10.0GB 216GB 206GB logical ext3 5 216GB 220GB 3997MB logical linux-swap I think all I need to do is:
- Do a backup of all data
sudo parted /dev/sda resize 6 10GB 216GB
Does that sound about right? Any other things I need to check or other commands that should be run after?
