thank you for the reply, actually I've heard about this solution, and tried
to use
resize2fs to expand my filesystem (ext3), the problem is I didn't know how
to use
it, what does the "new size" parameter mean? the additional size or the new
complete
size? and the device must be a partition rather than the whole disk,
otherwise,
it complains "Bad magic number in super-block", and for a partition, it
complains size
not match or too large. any ideas?

tks
