Increase mount point size after linux installation !
Dear Friends ,

I have to install Redhat Ent Linux 5.0 (RHEL 5) in my machine . My HDD space is total 40 GB . During installation , I give three partitions ,

'/' = 30GB,
'swap'=2GB,
'home' =1GB.

Now my HDD remaining space is 7 GB . After installation , I need to increase the home partition size to 2 GB . Now would anybody plz tell me , is it possible to increase any partition size after installing the linux o/s ?

Waiting for kind reply ... ...

Red Hat has a very nice LVM.

If you have installed your System using LVM => This will be straightfoward to increase the size using the link given by scottn...
If not => You will need to back up your /home somewhere, then unmount the device, then increase the size, then format it again, then mount to home and finally retrieve your data.

Regards,

Create another filesystem using the 7 Gb of spare disk space and simply mount it as a subdirectory off your home directory.
