partitioning dev/sdb
by hatfani from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5N3YN)
Hello everyone,
I have a /dev/sdb disk with 2T.
It is already partitioned to sdb1 which is mount on the directory /home/raid
/home/raid directory has 2T and is currently using 15gb.
I want to have a new partition called sdb2 without harming the information on sdb1.
I want sdb2 to have 1.5T out of that 2T.
I saw that I can use parted command or fdisk for that, but I'm not sure how to do it without ruining the server or harming the 15gb on sdb1.
how do I create that sdb2 partition? what should I notice?
Any suggestions?
Thank you!!!
