I added a few drives and expanded my array using Dell's OpenManage utility. I was able to scan the device to show the correct size of /dev/sda. This is on a CentOS 6 system. I went into parted and was prompted to fix the space. Now that is showing up correctly. The one thing I noticed is that the second partition doesn't display a file system type. I don't know how the kickstart does this but my question is, if I add a new partition, I have to provide a file system type to parted. Is this going to throw anything off when I add /dev/sda3 to the existing LVM VolGroup00?

Thanks

  • Are you sure you mean `/dev/sda3`? – MadHatter Feb 13 '17 at 13:33
  • Yeah it's going to be the third partition under /dev/sda. I need to add a new parition. I don't want to run a risk of corrupting the second one by changing the size of it. – John S Feb 13 '17 at 13:50
  • Not like there's really any risk to expanding the existing partition. You're already past the risky parts, i.e. expanding the RAID array. – Michael Hampton Feb 13 '17 at 15:19
  • But not having a filesystem in parted, isn't that going to be an issue? I never really looked at it before but it just seems odd. – John S Feb 14 '17 at 15:21
