We have an Oracle Linux 6.7 server. Let the server IP be 10.55.5.10. There is a 350GB disk on this server. And shared over NFS with another Oracle Linux 6.7 server with 10.55.5.11 IP.

NOTE: these are virtual machines running on VMware.

df --inodes output below:

Filesystem       Inodes   IUsed    IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1      22937600 5450823 17486777   24% /data/upload

df -hP output below:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1       345G  321G  6.7G  98% /data/upload

cat /etc/fstab output below:

/dev/sdb1               /data/upload         ext4    defaults        0 0

This disk is unfortunately not lvm. There is even no disk configured as lvm on the server. The commands I specified below yield no results:

[root@ol67 ~]# pvdisplay
[root@ol67 ~]# vgdisplay
[root@ol67 ~]# lvdisplay
[root@ol67 ~]#

tune2fs output below:

[root@ol67 ~]# tune2fs -l /dev/sdb1 | grep resize_inode
Filesystem features:      has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize

fdisk -l output below:

[root@ol67 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

showmount output below:

[root@ol67 ~]# showmount -e
Export list for ol67.domain.com:
/another_disk 10.55.5.11
/data/upload  10.55.5.11

There are 27 subdirectories under /data/upload. And in one of these subdirectories there are another 1 million subdirectories. NOTE: I wanted to point out that maybe it is an important detail.

I don't know how I can expand a non-LVM disk. Is it possible to expand an ext4 type disk on Oracle Linux 6.7?

Best regards,

    You've used the entire space on the 350GB disk. Assuming this is a physical machine and not a VM, how would you be proposing to expand the disk drive? Commented Jun 8, 2021 at 16:08
