在給客戶(hù)部署Linux虛擬機(jī)時(shí)，我一般都會(huì)單獨(dú)做出一個(gè)分區(qū)來(lái)存儲(chǔ)客戶(hù)的所有數(shù)據(jù)，并取名為data。/data分區(qū)的默認(rèn)大小為35G，隨著時(shí)間的發(fā)展，有的客戶(hù)提出擴(kuò)大/data分區(qū)的需求。下面是我在ESX4.0上的實(shí)施步驟：
注：在生產(chǎn)環(huán)境中一定要先做好備份再做操作！
1）關(guān)掉Linux虛擬機(jī)，運(yùn)行vmkfstools命令擴(kuò)展vmdk文件。原大小為50G，現(xiàn)在擴(kuò)展為65G。
vmkfstools -X 65G CentOS53.vmdk
2）開(kāi)啟Linux虛擬機(jī)，可以通過(guò)以下命令可以查看新增的可用空間。
[root@CentOS53 ~]# parted
GNU Parted 1.8.1
Using /dev/sda
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.

9 13.0GB 53.7GB 40.7GB logical ext3
53.7GB 69.8GB 16.1GB Free Space
3）運(yùn)行disk /dev/sda后輸入P查看分區(qū)結(jié)果如下，并記錄下來(lái)(/dev/sda9加載在/data分區(qū)上)?？梢?jiàn)總共有8485個(gè)cylinder，但最后一個(gè)分區(qū)只是到6527就結(jié)束了。這說(shuō)明后面還有硬盤(pán)空間。
Disk /dev/sda: 69.7 GB, 69793218560 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8485 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/sda8 1450 1580 1052226 83 Linux
/dev/sda9 1581 6527 39736746 83 Linux
4）輸入d刪除擴(kuò)展分區(qū)/dev/sda4，這樣所有的邏輯分區(qū)就從分區(qū)表中消失了（不要害怕，呵呵）。
5）輸入n創(chuàng)建新的擴(kuò)展分區(qū)，并創(chuàng)建原來(lái)（/dev/sda9除外）所有的邏輯分區(qū)并保持原來(lái)的起始、結(jié)束cylinder地址不變。/dev/sda9的起始地址不變，結(jié)束地址改為8485。新的分區(qū)表如下。確認(rèn)無(wú)誤后輸入w已保存生效。

6）查看改動(dòng)后的分區(qū)大小。到目前為止，/data分區(qū)大小仍未改變。
[root@CentOS53 ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda8 996M 235M 710M 25% /
/dev/sda9 37G 177M 35G 1% /data
/dev/sda7 996M 34M 911M 4% /home
/dev/sda6 2.0G 76M 1.8G 5% /var
/dev/sda2 3.9G 1.4G 2.4G 38% /usr
/dev/sda5 2.0G 36M 1.9G 2% /usr/local
/dev/sda1 99M 17M 78M 18% /boot
tmpfs 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm
7）運(yùn)行resize2fs /dev/sda9已擴(kuò)展/data分區(qū)。（在2.6.X內(nèi)核里無(wú)需先umount）
[root@CentOS53 ~]# resize2fs /dev/sda9
resize2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
Filesystem at /dev/sda9 is mounted on /apps; on-line resizing required
Performing an on-line resize of /dev/sda9 to 13866095 (4k) blocks.
The filesystem on /dev/sda9 is now 13866095 blocks long.
8）再次查看分區(qū)大小。成功，哦耶！
[root@CentOS53 ~]# df -h

/dev/sda8 996M 235M 710M 25% /
