English Install/Boot/Login

Anyone who can tell me how to shrink / increase the /home XFS partition.
Not possible with gparted.
I need a partition for NFS.

It is only possible to make a plan for this when one knows what you have, where that partition is, where the space is that you want to add to it, etc.And as long as you do not tell, we do not know.

Maybe start with

su -l -c 'fdisk -l'

and explain wich partition is used for what.

This I do not understand. In NFS on the server site you export a directory (not a partition). On the client site you mount that export, again no partition involved. Thus when you think this information is important for us t o understand your goal, please explain.

You can’t shrink XFS. For growing, you increase underlying block device size and then use “xfs_growfs /dev/your-xfs-device”. If you need help to increase block device size, tell more details about your setup (is /home on plain partition, Linux MD, LVM, encrypted or whatever),

Thanks just needed to know it is possible to shrink XFS during install I made it to big not knowing shrinking was not possible…
Pity that this can not.

You can’t shrink XFS.

Yes, yes, but, the folks at SGI are/were thinking about the possibility of being able to shrink XFS partitions: <http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2002-01/msg02379.html&gt;
[HR][/HR]I’m also puzzled as to why anyone with a *NIX system needs a separate partition for NFS exports (it is possible that the non-*NIX systems need such things). >:)
For example, the NFS exports on this 13.2 Desktop system are:


 > cat /etc/exports
/home/Users     192.168.178.0/24(rw,root_squash,sync,hide,no_subtree_check)
/home01/Bilder  192.168.178.0/24(rw,root_squash,sync,hide,no_subtree_check)

[Only the directories listed are available in the network via NFS – everything else, [b]not.]
And, the same applies for the things that Samba makes available for the folks who insist on using the systems from Redmond.
