Hi there I think I've found a bug in parted I have created a Debian Live system on a 2 GB USB key. Here is what it looks like on the USB key:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /root>fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 2013 MB, 2013265920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 244 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0007a8d3 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 101 811251 83 Linux You see there is about 1.2 GB free after that Linux partition. I am trying to move that Linux partition to the end of the 2 GB USB key. This way I will be able to create a 1.2 GB FAT32 partition at the beginning of the USB key. Here is what I am doing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root>parted /dev/sdb move 1 1200M 0M Error: The file system is bigger than its volume! Ouch ! parted won't let me move the partition ! I have filed this bug as Debian Bug in package parted version 1.7.1-5.1. It is Debian bug 469842: http://bugs.debian.org/469842 Would be nice if this could be fixed :) Cheers, -- Pierre Bauduin Linux enthusiast since 1996 Linux registered user #64711 Debian GNU/Linux user website: http://pierre.baudu.in/
