[sf-lug] Partition resizing problem

[Hayden Muhl]

I've got Ubuntu 9.04 installed on /dev/sda1.  When I originally partitioned the drive I didn't make the partition large enough (~4 GB).  On the advice of someone else, I used gparted to expand the partition (now ~8 GB).  The problem I'm having is that the file system seems to think it's still on a 4 GB partition and still won't let me store more files.

Here's some relevant output.  Pay attention to sda1.

> df -h

Any hints on what I need to do to get the filesystem on sda1 to use the full 8 GB?
