Explain further please.

on a mail server, need to change the drive "partion" sizes, making a certain one larger, i thought there was a command that could run and i'm not sure but i think maybe it started with something like mkdrv, i could be wrong though :

'lvextend' and then 'resizefs'

lvextend and resizefs will only work with a logical volumes and b) reiserfs.

You should look for a partition manager that can talk to the type of fs you have.
Depending on which linux distribution you have installed, will depend on the type of filesystem the disk is formated with.

Also, it might be easier to add network attached storage or another hard drive.

parted is a tool that might apply to your unnamed OS.

redhat 6.1 is the unnamed OS

I also would like to know "how to". I am running RH AS 2.1 at the moment. I have configured a RAID5 (4x73GB) with numerous partitions and now one of the partitions is too small. My intention is to add another 73GB drive to my existing RAID5 and extend the particular small partition. I do know how to extend my RAID5 container, but not sure know how to extend a partition within Linux. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.
