I tried to resize partitions on a SLES 15 server by using gdisk.
No matter what I try to do, I cant get it to work after rebooting the system.
Initial situation:
I have a boot partition (/dev/sda1), a / partition (/dev/sda2), a /home partition (/dev/sda3) and swap (/dev/sda4).
I want to recreate the /home partition with less space and increase space on the / partition.
These are the steps I did:
1.
/home
2. delete and recreate partitions:
SRV01:~ # gdisk /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.8
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Command (? for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 209715200 sectors, 100.0 GiB
Model: Virtual disk
Sector size (logical/physical): 512/512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): E6F4D731-D49F-4BD7-8AF7-A0EDA544AE8C
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
Main partition table begins at sector 2 and ends at sector 33
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 209715166
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB)

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!
Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y
3. read partition table with
4. create filesystem for /home partition:
SRV01:~ # mkfs.xfs /dev/sda3
meta-data=/dev/sda3 isize=512 agcount=4, agsize=524288 blks
= sectsz=512 attr=2, projid32bit=1
= crc=1 finobt=1, sparse=1, rmapbt=0
= reflink=0 bigtime=0 inobtcount=0
data = bsize=4096 blocks=2097152, imaxpct=25
= sunit=0 swidth=0 blks
naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0, ftype=1
log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=2560, version=2
= sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1
realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0
Discarding blocks...Done.
5. resize the / filesystem
SRV01:~ # btrfs filesystem resize max /
Resize device id 1 (/dev/sda2) from 40.00GiB to max
6. add new device UUIDs into fstab (device UUID for / partition stays the same, otherwise it would be needed to update it in /boot partition in the grub config as well)
7. mount filesystems with -a
At this point everything works without any issue.
But if I reboot the system the Bootloader opens up and then I get the message : Problem with revocation key (-74)
How can this be resolved?
