How to increase space of / mount based on btrfs in Oracle Linux 7?
It provide the step of active img file .
It additional step to increase the space of / mount . Because all OS module located in the mount
1. Stop VM
2. From Host OS , increase the size of img file using resize command
qemu-img resize new.img +11G
Output :
#qemu-img resize new.img +11G
Image resized.
3. Start VM
4. Check the current space
df -h
Output :
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 2.4G 0 2.4G 0% /dev
tmpfs 2.4G 0 2.4G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 2.4G 8.3M 2.4G 1% /run
tmpfs 2.4G 0 2.4G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/xvda3 11G 2.4G 6.3G 28% / ----> Size is 11G
/dev/xvda1 499M 115M 384M 24% /boot
tmpfs 489M 0 489M 0% /run/user/0
[root@dhcp-10-184-38-40 ~]#
5. Verify the resize command using fdisk -l
fdisk -l /dev/xvda
Output :
Disk /dev/xvda: 27.9 GB, 27917287424 bytes, 54525952 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk label type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x000e4e76

/dev/xvda3 9418752 31457279 11019264 83 Linux
it shows img size is increased by /dev/xvd3 not increased .
Our aim to increase the space of /dev/xvd3
if you run below command now , it will fail , so there is no free space in in partition
btrfs filesystem resize +11G /
Resize '/' of '+11G'
ERROR: unable to resize '/': no enough free space
6. run fdisk command on active / mount
d

fdisk /dev/xvda
Output :

The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.
The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at
the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)
Syncing disks.
7. partprobe to check
partprobe
Output :
Error: Partition(s) 3 on /dev/xvda have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes.
8. resize using btrfs
btrfs filesystem resize max /
Output :
Resize '/' of 'max'.
9. partx -u -n 2 /dev/xvda
partx -u -n 2 /dev/xvda
Output :
no output .
10. checking partitions
cat /proc/partitions
Output :

202 2 4194304 xvda2

11. Reboot of VM
12.resize using btrfs
btrfs filesystem resize max /
Output :
Resize '/' of 'max'.
13.check the file system
df -h .
Output :
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda3 22G 2.4G 18G 13% /
it is increased from 11G to 22G
