Buster: problem changing partition size on a RAID 5 array

I just added another drive to my RAID 5 array, so it now has 6. Unfortunately I can't seem to use the extra space. After the array finished reshaping, I tried to grow the file system but resize2fs complained that the file system was already the maximum size. Running gdisk revealed the following

Partition Magic is an _excellent_ program for resizing partitions. I have entrusted my disk to it on numerous occasions (and so have some of my friends) and it has never had a problem. Too bad it's a DOS/Windows program and won't resize ext2 partitions. :( _ _ | |(_) | _| | | | |__

Re: changing partition size

There are apps to do this. However I would not trust my hard drive to them. Wipe it and start clean. Otherwise you will likely regret it. Seems rough, but at least you know it is right. I place partition stretchers in the same boat as hard drive compressors. They may work today, maybe tomorro

changing partition size

Hi ! Is there a command to change (increase) the linux partition over unallocated place on the hard disk ? My problem is that I dedicated too little place to the linux partition at the installation. I've jus't installed Hamm, Xwindow, and part of teTex so I would better not be obliged to do it all
