Hi,
Let me know if this is the wrong place to ask...
I'm using Fedora 12 x86_64, mostly with the newer 21.6.32 kernel, and
have a single btrfs filesystem within a 120Gb partition.
I'd like to extend the space btrfs can use. One option is presumably
add a new device to btrfs, but I was hoping to simple resize the
existing partition to say 160Gb.
With ext4 I might do this with gparted , although mostly I'd use LVM,
with seperate LVs for /opt /home / etc and that's been the way I've done
it for many years.
With btrfs I'm unsure as to the safe steps and decided to skip on use
of LVM giving the enhanced capabilities of btrfs itself.
Is it ok to resize the partition with gparted?
How do I make btrfs use the new partition size?
Or are there other btrfs specific tools that can manage partitions
Would I be better off still using lvm in conjunction with btrfs?
Are there good pointers to useful user material on btrfs on these issues?
Is creating new subvolumes to manage /home (say I want to limit that
space, and create snapshots independently) appropriate, and if so what's
the easiest way to do that -- I had trouble with getting the subvolume
ops to work
Mostly rather than NEED btrfs per se, I'm using a clean laptop
environment as a way to experiment with the new filesystem & understand
how to manage it.
Thanks
Nigel.
