Package: parted Version: 1.6.23-3 Severity: important -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Hello, I've searched over the docs (and the net) and it seems that I'm not wrong: parted can resize an ext3, provided that "the new start must be the same as the old start" [1]. But I've 2 kinds of different errors, here the output (note that the partition is unmounted and I tried in "emergency" mode with the same results). ===== gismo:/home/luca# parted /dev/hda print Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0kB - 60GB Disk label type: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32kB 8000MB 8000MB primary fat32 boot, lba 2 8000MB 16GB 8000MB primary ext3 3 16GB 60GB 44GB extended lba 5 16GB 17GB 512MB logical linux-swap 6 17GB 32GB 15GB logical ext3 7 32GB 42GB 10000MB logical ext3 8 42GB 52GB 10000MB logical ext3 9 52GB 60GB 8500MB logical ext3 Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary. gismo:/home/luca# parted GNU Parted 1.6.23 Copyright (C) 1998 - 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

BTW, just FYI, qtparted (Debian unstable and SystemRescueCD [2]) doesn't give me the option to resize /dev/hda9, while I can resize /dev/hda3 (the extended partition).
