fca Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted November 2, 2014 Hope I can clarify my question and get some help. I expanded the volume in esxi, synology see that the disk is bigger but don't allow me to expand. Please any help even if on cli interface .

mojojojotroi Posted December 22, 2014 Share #3 Posted December 22, 2014 Hi, I face the same problem. The solution interest me too. I think we should look for mdadm + resize2fs + pvresize + lvextend commands. The filesystem is ext2, ext3 or ext4, it seems that the resizing of the volume should be done when offline, so you have to unmount the partitions before using resize2fs. But I'm not very comfortable with Linux, so I say perhaps bullshit. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
