We have our subversion source control running on a Jumpbox machine. We have recently run out of space on the SCSI partition that is mounted at /var, which contains our subversion library and trac files. We are running VM server and have managed to extend the vm drive. We have also enabled SSH connections to our jumpbox and can see the partition through the command line.
What do we need to do to extend the partition in Ubuntu to see the aditional space? Should we be using parted or some other similar utility?
How to extend partition on trac Jumpbox.
Did you "extend" the existing var.hdd file using the vmware-vdiskmanager or did you simply create a new disk file? Adding a new disk file and copying the contents of /var/data/projects into it, then mounting the new file at /var/data/projects is probably the easiest way to extend that disk size.
If you have actually extended the disk and want to try that way, I can help you through that as well. It should be possible.
Oh, also, you said VMware Server, you mean the Free VMware GSX server right?
