$8-15 USD / hour

Estimated duration: 1 day or less Industry: Internet/Software Description of support work: Need someone with a better understanding of Linux file systems than me to advise how to resize a partition on our Linux server. We have a 2TB drive (dev/sdb) currently mounted to two 1TB partitions (sdb1, sdb2). We need to adjust the sizing so the second partition (sdb2) is 1.5 TB, and the first (sdb1) is 500GB. See output from df and fdisk below. You will see that sdb2 is full at 100%. I cannot provide remote access to the server, so I am looking for someone to walk me through this job over Skype or email. This must only be done if you are 100% confident this will be done without any loss of data.

Hi, my name is Jaspal I'm from India. Since 2005 I'm Linux and Opensource technology administrator. I am also recognized expert in open source technologies and contributor to the open source mailing system and Heartbeat clusters. I have done several projects in the past and working for Global projects with the mailling architecture where server deleivers millions of emails in single day. I have done numerous migrations from moving Exchange environment to Linux environment consists of AD -> LDAP migration, Exchnage -> Qmail migration, Virtualization (10 servers - > 2 servers with exact replica to each other). So; I don't think, I would have issues working on this migration.

Hi, Having just been reading your project outline with regard to the resizing of partitions on your Linux server, I believe that I can walk you through the process of carrying out this change with no issue at all. From what I can see from your detailed outline, the two partitions in your RAID array are formatted with the 'ext4' filesystem, which should make them great candidates for being resized. I have extensive experience within the field of Linux server administration and management (10+ years), and have carried out a number of very similar jobs in the past. In addition, I would be available to talk you though this live at any time of day, as I understand that there may be time differences, or you may need to carry out your maintenance out of business hours to minimize the downtime for users. I am very new the Freelancer website, but please don't let that put you off, I have extensive experience in the IT and systems industry, and have just joined Freelancer to use it as an aid to making the transition to fully time self-employed. I appreciate your time reading this proposal, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks & Regards, Dec Robinson.

Maybe you want to do the re-sizing "in situ" but it is recommended to do a backup with an external HD. This could slow things down but is a secure policy. This is as simple as knowing how to use the gparted software available in all mayor Linux distributions.

Hi, I am proffessional linux administrator who has broad experience with resizing ext3, reiserfs and ext4 filesystems. In addition to that I have 3 years of experience as a storage administrator of 4 enterprise storage systems at a size of 60-100 TB each, so I am quite confident with partitioning, redundancy, filesystems set up, RAID mirroring, changing faulty disks, attaching/detaching disks to/from RAID mirrors, checking filesystem and repairing errors on filesystems. My approach to your Project: Althought the risk of data corruption is very low, I will recommend you to prepare a backup of /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 or at least to a backup of the partition that will be shrinked - /dev/sdb1. 1. I will guide you through skype, you choose the way of communication wheather voice or written 2. You will have to unmount /dev/sdb1 before shrinking the filesystem. After the filesystem is shrinked, you can resize the disk 3. Resize /dev/sdb2 to 1.5 TB, write the partition table and then resize the filesystem of /dev/sdb2 What I will expect from you is to have a reliable method for testing the information on both partitions. For instance, if you have a database on /dev/sdb2 you can prepare the output of some quiries before resizing and run the same quieries after the change and compare the results. Regards, D. Vitkova
