I was so scared to lose everything, but this tutorial made it so easy and simple

[@fl2rms]

Fantastic how to. Thanks for sharing this process. I managed to increase the storage on a drive that had so much data and everything went well.

[@darjichirag235]

Thanks for the help.
It's worked for me. I extend my LVM centos-root mapper partition using this method. This is very helpful video.

I have been putting off a resize request for weeks simply for not exactly knowing how to go about it and getting scared shitless while reading through other solutions which involved unmounting and rebooting from USB devices and the works.
Never knew it was this simple and most of all quick!! I achieved my resize from 80 to 100 gb in just under 5 minutes. including 1 reboot and resulting in a happy admin!
Thanks a lot for this clear guide!! Definite LifeSaver!!

For anyone asking the question will I lose my data if I delete the partition the answer is no - as long as you follow and understand the commands.
@ 2:15 you have deleted your partition and then create a new partition. If you make sure the first sector matches number matches the original start number you get from the print command and then your end you can then expand to increase the overall size of the partition then you should not lose anything.
That has been my experience anyway.

I did like the shown in the vid. The sda2 is now bigger, but the / partition still has the same size as before when I use command "df -h"

[@sriharsha6151]

do I lose the content in the root folder if I follow this approach?

[@ibrahimsawy]

Does it wipe data stored on the partition that will be deleted and resized?
I have a server installed on centos vm and i dont want to lose my server.

Did you get an answer? I'm going try this trick on a virtual dummy first.

@@KoolMada Thanks man, I went ahead on a dummy vm and found out that this is method is non-destuctive. Works like a charm by the way. :-)
