I am using btrfs-progs latest git head in gentoo, along with a 2.6.37 kernel. I am unable to resize the filesystem online (or offline - though that doesn't seem to be an option). with brtfs: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- alipc-gentoo% sudo btrfs filesystem resize +20g ~/.wine/drive_c Resize '/home/ali/.wine/drive_c' of '+20g' ERROR: unable to resize '/home/ali/.wine/drive_c' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- with btrfs-ctl: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- alipc-gentoo% sudo btrfsctl -r +20g ~/.wine/drive_c ioctl:: File too large --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fdisk -l of the the drive that partiion is on (sda9 = ~/.wine/drive_c): --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000e3826  ÂDevice Boot   ÂStart     End   ÂBlocks  Id ÂSystem /dev/sda1       Â63 Â1953520064  976760001  Â5 ÂExtended /dev/sda5   Â1009797705 Â1953520064  471861180  83 ÂLinux /dev/sda6    642391218 Â1009797704  183703243+ Â83 ÂLinux /dev/sda7       189  Â41945714  Â20972763  Â7 ÂHPFS/NTFS /dev/sda8    Â41945778  104856254  Â31455238+ Â83 ÂLinux /dev/sda9    104856318  209712509  Â52428096  83 ÂLinux /dev/sda10   Â386250858  468166229  Â40957686  83 ÂLinux Partition table entries are not in disk order --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For help in comprehending this, here is an image from gparted: http://img833.imageshack.us/i/gpartedd.png/ Apart from the hideous numbering and arrangement - I used gparted, and made it up gradually, as and when I needed partitions. In short for sda9, it is a logical partition inside an extended partion (sda1), and has approximately 85GB of unpartioned space (inside the extended partition) following it, into which I would like to resize it.
