Hello Folks,
Greetings,
I am in need of extending the / partition for one of my SuSE linux Enterprise Server 11.1 which is running on VMware. I will be able to extend the virtual lun from the vshphere console but not sure how to extend the root partition from the OS end. I am not sure if I could do it online. Please see the below o/p from the server. This is an Oracle server.
