parted: Resize a partition in interactive mode.
$ resizepart ${-dev-sdXN} ${end_position_of_partition}
try on your machine
The resizepart
command is used to resize a partition on a Linux system.
Here is an explanation of the command:
${-dev-sdXN}
: This is a variable representing the path of the partition you want to resize. In Linux, partitions are usually represented as/dev/sdXN
, whereX
is a letter corresponding to the drive andN
is a number representing the partition. For example,/dev/sda1
represents the first partition on the first drive.${end_position_of_partition}
: This is a variable representing the new end position of the partition after resizing. It is typically specified in sectors.
By using the resizepart
command with the appropriate arguments, you can resize the specified partition to the desired end position. Keep in mind that this command should be used with caution, as resizing a partition can potentially lead to data loss if not done correctly.
