specify the p command to display the current partition table.
# fdisk /dev/sde
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sde: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2213 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sde1 1 262 2104483+ 83 Linux
/dev/sde2 263 288 208845 83 Linux

Partition number (1-4): 3
4. Press the
[Enter] key or specify the next available cylinder:
First cylinder (289-2213, default 289): 289
5. Specify the partition size that is required:
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (289-2213,
default 2213): +2000M
Note that large partitions will increase the cluster service failover time if a file system on the par-
tition must be checked with fsck. Quorum partitions must be at least 10 MB.
6. Specify the w command to write the new partition table to disk:
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!
