Howdy,
As some know, on my old and new rig, I compile my updates in a chroot
environment. Then I copy the binaries over and use the -k option on my
running OS. That way I don't have a crash when one program is updated
and another it depends on is not yet updated. Anyway, my chroot is
getting squeezed a little. I need to expand it another 30GBs or so so
that I don't get not enough space errors. It's only the largest packages
right now but the next larger ones are growing and will start having
issues as well. I have a m.2 stick for my OS. It's a 1TB stick. I
have plenty of space unused. I did the OS first and then did a partition
for the chroot thingy. The partition named build-part is the chroot.
The parts above it are the OS. This is the current layout.
Part. # Size Partition Type Partition Name
----------------------------------------------------------------
1007.0 KiB free space
1 2.0 GiB EFI system partition efi-part
2 10.0 GiB Linux filesystem boot
3 400.0 GiB Linux filesystem root-part
4 180.0 GiB Linux filesystem var-part
5 150.0 GiB Linux filesystem build-part
189.5 GiB free space
I think I can just delete the partition for build-part and then add a
new partition that is larger, then do a file system and rsync the files
back over. My question, thing I want to be sure of, if I delete that
and re-add it, that will not affect my OS at all? Right? I may do a
back up first but still, I'd like to be sure this is at least doable and
not risky. I'll be using cgdisk and the usual file system tools for
this. I'm assuming I'll have to recreate the file system and such.
Thanks in advance.
