Re: Problem with partition resizing

Hello list,

yesterday I rebooted my machine to change video memory stuff on Bios
Setup, and used the downtime to remove a old Freebsd partition, and
resize the fedora one.

But... (there's always a but) things went wrong. PartitionMagic just
stopped in the midlle. I rebooted.

After screwing up my grub, I saw it has destroyed my swap, just fixed
also.

Oh yes, no data loss!

But one thing remains:
If I fdisk /dev/hda, what I see is
/dev/hda1   *         1        25    200781   83  Linux
/dev/hda2            26      4804  38387317+  83  Linux
/dev/hda3          4805      4870    530145   82  Linux swap

Indicating that the partition resizing was sucessful.
BUT, it I use "df", this is said to me:

[root@casa surak]# df
Filesystem           1K-blocos      Usad Dispon.   Uso% Montado em
/dev/hda2             32756276  27006320   4086024  87% /
/dev/hda1               194443      6338    178066   4% /boot
none                    176388         0    176388   0% /dev/shm

Indicating that there was no complete resizing. How can I correct this??

Partition resizing does not automatically format the added space.
df reads information from the file system, fdisk reads from the partion table.
This is like trying to compare apples and oranges.

To use the added space you will need to format it.
