[SOLVED] Arch not detecting full size of root partition.
I initially installed Arch onto a 40GB partition, that I intended to dual boot, with windows, but I then decided to give Arch the entire 128GB hard drive, so I resized the main partition using parted, but arch doesn't pick up on the increased disk space. Parted shows that the root partition is 120GB, but df -h says that the / partition is only 40GB still...
How can I make arch resize it's filesystem to take advantage of the increased space?

Re: [SOLVED] Arch not detecting full size of root partition.
Did you just expand the partition without also expanding the filesystem?

Probably, how do I expand the file system? I just used parted to add more space to the partition.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch not detecting full size of root partition.
Solved it. Theres a tool called resize2fs, all i had to do was run sudo resize2fs /dev/<rootpartition> and then it just fixed it. Cool.
