Hi all. quick "from the idiot's gallery" question here.
Got an extra machine with two 250 GB drives in it. Drive 1 has the OS
(Ubuntu server) and not much else. Drive 2 has a single partition (/media)
that holds subdirectories with a bazillion files I want occasional access to
via Samba.
Drive 1 seems to be showing up as the right size, but drive 2 looks to be
missing a solid 120GB.
My question: Any way to resize/repartition/re-something drive 2 without
losing all the data that's on there?
Df -h output below:
#df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/plattsburg-root
228G 1.3G 215G 1% /
varrun 252M 2.0M 250M 1% /var/run
varlock 252M 0 252M 0% /var/lock
udev 252M 64K 252M 1% /dev
devshm 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 236M 24M 200M 11% /boot
/dev/sdb1 126G 46G 75G 39% /media
Many thanks,
Greg
