Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Is it possible to extend a extended partition raw space in harddisk thru rhel 6 Post 302777223 by verdepollo on Thursday 7th of March 2013 01:15:59 PM

If the raw space is not in "in the middle" of two partitions and the cylinders are contiguous to the existing extended partition then you can do it directly with fdisk with little risk.

Note that you'll also need to extend the filesystem.

It's uncommon however to leave "raw" space like that since you cannot really use it - there are a few exceptions to the rule but usually they belong to very specialized software... TeraData comes to mi mind.
