Extend root partition on SuSE enterprise Server 11.1

Hello Folks,
Greetings,

I am in need of extending the / partition for one of my SuSE linux Enterprise Server 11.1 which is running on VMware. I will be able to extend the virtual lun from the vshphere console but not sure how to extend the root partition from the OS end. I am not sure if I could do it online. Please see the below o/p from the server. This is an Oracle server.


orahost01:~ # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 23G 22G 36M 100% /
devtmpfs 941M 88K 941M 1% /dev
tmpfs 941M 329M 613M 35% /dev/shm
orahost01:~ # fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 26.8 GB, 26843545600 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3263 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0002a454

/dev/sda1 1 262 2104483+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda2 * 263 3264 24109885 83 Linux
orahost01:~ # fdisk -l /dev/sda2

Disk /dev/sda2: 24.7 GB, 24688522240 bytes

Hello PSP, I think the best way once you extended the virtual lun might be to use a bootable linux CD. It is a long procedure and risky but it can be done.
