container Commands
container extend file_system
To extend a file system so that it uses all of the space in an array,
use the container extend file_system
command. This
command allows you to extend the NTFS file system.
Typically, you use this command after extending an array (by
adding a level to it with the container add_level
command
and, possibly, by extending it with the container extend
mvolume
command).
If you extend an NTFS file system, you must reboot your system in
order for the extension to take effect.
Notes
The following notes relate to using the container extend
file_system command to extend an NTFS file system:
■ If you extend an NTFS file system, the command displays an
appropriate message indicating that you need to reboot the
system to show the new space. If you check the Windows
Event Log, a message similar to the following appears:
The file system structure on the disk is corrupt
and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the
device \Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 with label ““.
The previous message always appears in the Windows Event
Log even if the file system extend operation is successful. You
do not need to run the chkdsk utility after a successful file
system extend operation.
■ You cannot extend an NTFS file system that resides on a boot
array.
