Hi,
OK, I've figured it out (I think). As usual, it turns out that I've done
something stupid ;-)
My root filesystem was originally on /dev/hda2 and so in /etc/lilo.conf I had
specified:
root=/dev/hda2
and in /etc/fstab I had specified:
/dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 01
I created a new partition, /dev/hda5, and copied the root filesystem there. I
remembered to update /etc/fstab (the reminder on exiting parted probably helped
:-), but I didn't think to update /etc/lilo.conf, so I continued using the root
filesystem on /dev/hda2 while thinking I was using the one on /dev/hda5.
Of course, this explains why when I resized /dev/hda5 I didn't see any change in
the size of the root filesystem. The behaviour of df seems confusing, though: I
would have figured out what was going on a lot sooner if it hadn't reported that
the filesystem mounted on / was /dev/hda5, like so:
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 2952 1282 1490 47% /
/dev/hda1 8 3 5 35% /boot
/dev/hda6 16137 7222 8095 48% /home
Would you consider this to be a bug in df or am I missing something?
Cheers,
Phil.
