扩展后执行fdisk -l查看是否成功

[root@localhost ~ ]# fdisk - l

Disk / dev / sda: 16.1 GB, 16106127360 bytes

可见sda已经扩展成为16G，但是没分配给文件系统
继续执行fdisk /dev/sda进行新建磁盘

[root@localhost ~ ]# fdisk / dev / sda

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1958 .
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024 ,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1 ) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2 ) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS / 2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): n
No free sectors available

前面执行fdisk -l的时候明明最后才是1305柱面，而且应该有1958柱面，为什么说没有空闲的扇区。

再看看fdisk -l执行结果，原来是/dev/sda5分配了作为swap分区，找到原因了就容易解决。

1.关闭swap分区 # swapoff /dev/sda5
2.删除sda4和sda5.

[root@localhost ~ ]# fdisk / dev / sda

3.建立扩展分区4，建立分区sda5，写入
