It is a fixed partition scheme

You can't extend its size

You have to format again with LVM partitioning

Dear Jigar,

Thanks for sending me the reply, as you mentioned in your mail that there is no alternate except format the machine again.

Now please let me know how i can prepare the image of this machine and how i can restore the same.

I tried to create the image by using clonezilla but could not succeeded, as we use Acronis utility in windows and if we prepare the c: drive image e.g (with OS and other application softwares) i.e 20 GB approx so that if we have 50GB of c: Drive in same type of machine where we can restore the same image and it works fine.

So, let me know this kind of solution so that before formatting the machine i create the img with os and database for safer side.

Awaiting for your prompt reply.....and thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Dear
Don't format your machine. Just delete the old kernel images. This will resolve the issues.
