This is the original size of my partition, 50GB...

# df -h | grep mpath
/dev/mapper/mpath0p1 50G 2.1G 45G 5% /san

I increased it to 60GB and am trying to resize. Through my
troubleshooting and various attempts, I've increased /dev/sdb1 (NIC),
/dev/sdc1 (HBA) and /dev/mapper/mpath0p1 (MPIO).

Disk /dev/sdb: 64.4 GB, 64424509440 bytes
/dev/sdb1 1 61440 62914544 83 Linux

Disk /dev/sdc: 64.4 GB, 64424509440 bytes
/dev/sdc1 1 61440 62914544 83 Linux

Disk /dev/mapper/mpath0: 64.4 GB, 64424509440 bytes
/dev/mapper/mpath0p1 1 61440 62914544 83 Linux

I unmount/mount, reboot, etc and the mounted partition keeps showing
up as 50GB. How do I get my additional 10GB? This is on a CentOS 4.5
server.

Thanks,
Scott

I suggest to run LVM on top of whole mpath disk and not use partitions.
In any case, peraphs you need to run "kpartx -a" and then extend filesystem
with 'ext2online'.

50G is the size of the mounted filesystem, not related to the block device

Here are the block device size, not related with the filesystem mounted
on top of it.

You increased the block device size, but not the filesystem. You only
have to modify the filesystem to take the extra room added into account.
You didn't mentionned what FS you use. For ext2/3 see tune2fs; for
reiserfs see resize_reiserfs; for XFS (highly recommended! for this kind
of usage, except if you are using a cluster FS) use xfs_growfs.


Anyway, the device-mapper is aware of the new size (because acting at
the block-level), but no dm tool can do anything on data (filesystems)
above the block layer.


For cluster filesystems, you have to check the docs because you cannot
modify a filesystem without any locking management (or else you will
cause a big mess in your data). Or maybe you will have to unmount the
device to do that.

Maybe you're confusing the /san filesystem size with its partition's new
size?
Assuming the /san fs is ext2 or ext3, make the old /san fs aware of its
partition's enlarged size by doing these:
umount /san
e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/mpath0p1
resize2fs /dev/mapper/mpath0p1
mount /dev/mapper/mpath0p1 /san
df -h /san
