We perform two-dimensional MHD numerical simulations of the Parker instability with the cosmicray pressure under the circumstance of the galactic disk. Instead of the symmetric boundary conditions on the galactic plane as often used, we solve the entire region of the disk. In the linear stage, the symmetric mode on the disk also grows when the cosmic-ray pressure is large, while the glide reflection symmetric mode dominates on the disk when the cosmic-ray pressure is small. In the nonlinear stage, some loop structures of the magnetic field lines expand rapidly and grow into large structure when the cosmic-ray pressure is large. Other loops, which start to grow a little later, are suppressed by faster growing loops located nearby and do not reach the nonlinear expansions. Eventually, the loop structure at the nonlinear stage does not coincides with that at the linear stage when the cosmic-ray pressure is relatively large.
