Topic: [closed] Growing HFS filesystems

Hi People!

My request is about adding Clonezilla to the Gparted testing versions. And the reason is that I've heard succesfull stories about growing partitions in filesystems that Gparted don't know how to have an approach currently.

The idea is the next, for example, in order to grow a hfs filesystem:

1- Create temporarily a compressed image of the hfs filesystem in the non-used space of a disk or by mount temporarily a filesystem in which you can write
2.-Delete the hfs filesystem
3.- Create a new one bigger
4.- Extract the hfs compressed image to the new big hfs filesystem
5.- Delete the hfs compressed image from the non-used space of the disk or from the filesystem you wrote the hfs compressed image
6.- Umount the filesystem if you used the mount option to save the hfs compressed image
7.- Test the new filesystem

What do you think about this idea? I think with luck we can get testers providing opinions from non-production systems. And moreover, it doesn't seem to need a lot of added source code - we can call clonezilla application from inside Gparted, for instance.

I hope your opinion!

Regards

Re: [closed] Growing HFS filesystems

Thank you videoclock for posting this request in the forum.

Is this request to be able to (A) create and restore backup images, or is the request for (B) growing hfs (and perhaps other unsupported) file systems?

A)  If this request is regarding being able to create backup images from GParted then similar requests have been raised as follows:
Create and restore file system images
Bug #364324 - File system images support

B)  If this request is regarding growing hfs file systems (or other currently unsupported file systems), then more investigation is required.

Have you tried using the above steps you posted?

I have not tried these myself, but I think that the restored compressed hfs image would have the same size file system even if the partition was larger.  As far as I know there are no free software tools for growing hfs file systems.

If you could test, document, and post your results it would help to determine if the approach is feasible.

Re: [closed] Growing HFS filesystems

Hi Gedak,

Thanks for interesting in that.

Actually I refer to the B. I haven't tried the steps I posted. However, I'm interested in that and adding functionality to the currently unsupported file systems.

To be honest, I'm not very experienced with filesystems and the implementations details. However, I think a lot of open source code and open source utilities can be reused to get things easier.

If I do tests like the one I posted, I'll share it with the users in order to expand the knowledge and to add possible functionality.

Regards

Re: [closed] Growing HFS filesystems

I am interested to learn what you discover when you try out the steps you listed.   smile

Re: [closed] Growing HFS filesystems

Hi people!

I've tried what I told, so I'm gonna explain the results of my experiments:

In Windows XP, I've installed VirtualBox and Ubuntu 10 virtual machine on it.

Then in the Ubuntu virtual machine I've installed Gparted application 0.8.0-5 and all packages that I can read in filesystem support menu of the app.

Then my virtual hard drive stays as following:

/dev/sda1 Ubuntu ext4 6GB boot
/dev/sda2 extended 2.09 GB
                 /dev/sda5 linux-swap 250 MB
                 unused space 250 MB
                 /dev/sda6 btrfs 250 MB
                 unused space 250 MB
                 /dev/sda7 HFS 250 MB
                 unused space 250 MB
                 /dev/sda8 HFS+ 250 MB
                 unused space 250 MB
                 /dev/sda9 reiser4 250 MB
                 unused space 250 MB

I apply in Gparted, all operations done succesfully, exit

I can mount now all filesystems except reiser4 (I don't know the required packages)

Then I copy some files to the three fillesystems

Next I boot from Clonezilla (still from virtualBox) and create a compressed image of each filesystem.

Then I boot from Gparted Live CD (still from virtualBox) and delete the four partitions and create new of them, staying my virtual hard drive as following:


/dev/sda1 Ubuntu ext4 6GB boot
/dev/sda2 extended 2.09 GB
                 /dev/sda5 linux-swap 400  MB
                 /dev/sda6 btrfs 500 MB
                 /dev/sda7 HFS 500 MB
                 /dev/sda8 HFS+ 500 MB
                 /dev/sda9 reiser4 500 MB

Then I boot from Clonezilla again and restore the four compressed images in the correct partitions. The only partition which gives me error is the reiser4 partition.

Then I boot Ubuntu and run gparted to know if something went wrong. I realize that Gparted recognizes the reiser4 partition as 'unknown', possibly due to the error restoring the image in Clonezilla.
Next, in bash, I try to fsck the four partitions before mounting them. I've run a lot of commands in this step and you can read all in the next bash history:

The summary:

In Ubuntu, btrfs fsck deleted the files I had saved while restoring the partition image in Clonezilla.
The files in the HFS partition and in the HFS+ partition remain.
fsck_hfs  recognizes the HFS partition as stable, but fsck.hfsplus not.
fsck_hfs  recognizes the HFS+ partition as stable, but fsck.hfsplus not
I can't mount the reiser4fs
I can currently write and read in the next partitions: sda6, sda7, sda8: That is: btrfs, HFS, HFS+

Re: [closed] Growing HFS filesystems

Thanks for posting all of your steps.

It would be helpful to know if the file system size is similar to the size of the containing partition.  Since you increased the partition sizes from 250MB to 500 MB, are the file system sizes also similarly grown?

You might try using the "df -k" command to view the file system usage.

That's the bash output:

root@casa-VirtualBox:~# mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/sda7
root@casa-VirtualBox:~# mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/sda8

I suspect that the files in the btrfs filesystem were not after the image restoring because Clonezilla doesn't support btrfs filesystem currently. Maybe with "dd" utility instead of Clonezilla?

Re: [closed] Growing HFS filesystems

It appears to be just as I suspected.  When the file systems were restored, these remained the same size as before 250MB.  The file systems did not grow to 500MB.

Hence it would appear that the steps do not grow file systems to fit the partition upon restoration.
